Moulsdale Kelly family - (Hope under Dinmore - Herefordshire)
I am looking for info re the Moulsdales who lived eventually in Amlwch, Anglesey. In particular Stephen Thomas Moulsdale (bn Llanfairtalhearn Denbs 1821-1899)who started his working life as possibly a trainee solicitor in Chester and married (Mary?) Catherine Kelly (1827-95). They are later found in Anglesey and Stephen was a carrier. They had about 10 children. I have some information but am interested in who the Kellys were (I think they were Irish), and why the young couple ended up in Anglesey. They were my great, great grandparents.
