hmmm, can't find the son on the 41 either (George Kelly bc1821 Colsterworth).

Not much help for finding John, but could this be son George in 1841, living in South Witham, Lincs:

George Kelley, 20, Carpenter Ap, Born Lincs

(Seems to fit with him being a Wheelwright in later census)

hmmm could be, Sabrina. He'd need carpentry skills to be a wheelwright.

Have just started doing a cyber trawl of Colsterworth in 1841.

Ah! I may have found John's widow and other sons, two of which are shoe makers. Can't read the name of forth son?

If it's them then George could have stated at his marriage that "father deceased":rolleyes:

Back to Colsterworth...

Francis, William, John & Simon are the four sons on the census Rosie.

There's great coverage of Colsterworth on FreeREG Rosie.

Possible John's burial but he's older than you have him

Also

Their marriage is on there too, which was by licence, if you can get a copy that might have some help info.

That burial ties with this baptism
