  US Census information for James and Anastasia (Keefe) Kelly based on ancestry.com transcriptions. This is an extract of information taken from the various US Censuses. Be aware that census information is often fraught with incorrect information due to a lack of knowledge of specific family details, a misunderstanding of questions asked and/or answers given. Enumerators were left to "create" their own spellings, and often had to calculate dates based on age at last birthday, etc. For these reasons, the recorded information often differs significantly from dates recorded in church registers or civil records. Remember too that these records have been transcribed, sometimes introducing additional errors due to difficulty in deciphering some of the handwriting, which varies greatly in quality and style. 1870 US Census: Image Source: Year: 1870; Census Place: Brighton, Middlesex, Massachusetts; Roll: M593_622; Page: 176; Image: 355; enumerated on July 11, 1870. This census shows that Anastasia was married to James Kelley and the family was living in the town of Brighton, MA. They had four children at that time and Anastasia's brother, Michael was living with them as well. James is listed as a butcher and Michael as a labourer. Kelley, James 35 butcher Mass.

This shows James and Anastasia (Anna) were living on Western Avenue in Boston. They had eight living children at this time. James and Anna indicated that all of their parents were born in Ireland. It states that James was born in Massachusetts, and it shows Anna was born in Canada (technically incorrect since Newfoundland did not become part of Canada until 1949).
