Their children included:
- John Henry Kelly, born about 1850 in County Mayo, Ireland.
- Bernard Kelly, born about 1846/1850 in Ireland.

He is also named as John Kelly in some family trees, likely because son John's death certificate names his father as "John". Here, the name from son John's marriage record is taken to be more accurate.
