Help Reading US Census Image

I wonder if people with access to the US census collection could look at the 1900 image for Elmer Kelly, Page number 1a and Enumeration District 138 and see what they think his parents are called? The siblings look to be Clarence, Celia May, Harry and ????. I've tried to find the family in 1910 but can't. Have found Elmer then but not the rest. Thanks very much Crista.

Crista You've probably already done this but I tried putting in the surname and the references you gave, and Ancestry's guess at the names are Seannan and Daolly. Sorry but I can't make anything of the image.

What about Eustace? Beth :)

The text says Seannan for the father's name. Maybe it's the Irish spelling of Shannon? Mother's name looks like Molly.

Thanks for nudging this Kath. I'm trying to help someone find Elmer's parents but it's tough with the 1890 census missing. Rosemary, In 1930, there's a William S Kelly and Molly B Kelly in the same town. Next door there's a Harry. The ages aren't perfect. Perhaps you are right about it being Molly. I just can't see William S in the father's name though. Roll: 2159, Enumeration District: 158 Thanks everyone, Crista

Maybe William S is William Sean and the 1900 said SeanWm Beth :)

Hi Ron, Found them in 1920 and 1910 in the same town - South Huntington. She's Mary on those two. The child that looked like Elsie looks to be Elex? Celia May is listed as May. Crista
