Do you have the marriage cert of James Kelly and Catherine Fox? Perhaps you do, as you know the exact date of marriage.
If so, please give us all the details of that too.

Are you quite sure that Mary is the daughter of Catherine and James?
EDIT: My apologies. Yes, she is - see later post. Ann Kelly nee Fox is Catherine's sister.
I know I posted 1901 for a Mary Kelly with parents James and Catherine.
But there's this child in 1911 who might be the one born in 1898 - birth already posted. There's only one Mary Kelly, mms Fox, registered in Manchester 1896-1900.
Mary Kelly in the 1911 England Census Name: Mary Kelly Age in 1911: 13 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1898 Relation to Head: Single Gender: Female Birth Place: Manchester, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: South Manchester County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: 25 Matthew St Hulme M/C Marital status: Single Occupation: At Home Registration District: Chorlton Registration District Number: 464 Sub-registration District: Hulme ED, institution, or vessel: 01 Piece: 23866 Household Members: Name Age Mary Kelly 13 Joseph Kelly 6
Also in the household, but transcribed sparately on Ancestry, are - Michael Kelly, head, 46, grey cloth warehouseman, Manchester, and Annie Kelly, wife, 38, Manchester. Married 17 years, 6 children, 4 deceased.
Michael Kelly in the 1911 England Census Name: Michael Kelly Age in 1911: 46 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1865 Relation to Head: Head Gender: Male Birth Place: England, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: South Manchester County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: 25 Matthew St Hulme M/C Marital status: Married Occupation: Grey Cloth Warehouseman Registration District: Chorlton Registration District Number: 464 Sub-registration District: Hulme ED, institution, or vessel: 01 Piece: 23866 Household Members: Name Age Michael Kelly 46 Annie Kelly 38
Marriages Mar 1893 (>99%) Fox Ann Manchester 8d 177 Kelly Michael Manchester 8d 177
KELLY, JOSEPH mms FOX GRO Reference: 1905 D Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 215
On the other hand,although I've assumed Mary and Joseph to be the children of Annie and Michael, the census form doesn't say what relation the children are to the adults - so maybe not their children - maybe niece and nephew ??.
EDIT: Yes, Ann is Catherine's sister - see later post.
Looking for the 4 deceased children:
Births: KELLY, JAMES FOX GRO Reference: 1893 D Quarter in CHORLTON Volume 08C Page 871 KELLY, JOSEPH FOX GRO Reference: 1896 D Quarter in CHORLTON Volume 08C Page 900
KELLY, ANNIE FOX GRO Reference: 1895 J Quarter in CHORLTON Volume 08C Page 890
Mary 1898 and Joseph 1905 are the only other Kelly/Fox children I can see registered in either Chorlton or Manchester 1893-1911.
Possible deaths:
?? Deaths Sep 1902 (>99%) KELLY Joseph 5 Chorlton 8c 408
?? Deaths Sep 1897 (>99%) Kelly Joseph 0 Manchester 8d 190
Deaths Mar 1901 (>99%) Kelly Annie 5 Manchester 8d 149
Don't see a likely death for James 1893

Thanks for the 1882 marriage details.
So if James was a labourer in 1882, he's not likely to be the man in 1891, listed as a Master M. . . . . . .
But on the other hand, aged 25 in 1882 makes his birth c1857., which would fit the age of the man in 1891 census.
The man in 1901 with Catherine and Mary was born c1874, if the age on the census is more or less correct.
Aaaaaghh!
What was Catherine's age at marriage? You haven't typed the whole number.
Her maiden name was definitely Fox, however - I had wondered if she might have been married before and therefore mmn would be something else, which might have helped find children's births - but no such luck!

Catherine Kelly's 'father' was 'deceased' when she married. Have you looked for his death?

Catherine in 1871:
Catherine Fox in the 1871 England Census Name: Catherine Fox Age: 12 Estimated Birth Year: 1859 Relation: Daughter Gender: Female Where born: Manchester Civil Parish: Chorlton on Medlock Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration District: Chorlton Sub-registration District: Chorlton upon Medlock ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Household Schedule Number: 76 Piece: 3987 Folio: 80 Page Number: 16 Household Members: Name Age John Fox 40 Ann Fox 40 Patrick Fox 18 Bridget Fox 16 John Fox 14 Catherine Fox 12 Ann Fox 9
And possiblly in 1881, with sister and a child - whose child??
Catherine Fox in the 1881 England Census Name: Catherine Fox Age: 21 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860 Relationship to Head: Lodger Gender: Female Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: Chorlton on Medlock County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: 15 Allin St Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Braid Tenter Factory Operative Registration District: Chorlton ED, institution, or vessel: 38 Neighbors: Piece: 3920 Folio: 22 Page Number: 37 Household Members: Name Age Daniel Lawles 28 Lewis Lawles 27 William Lawles 7 Robert Lawles 4 Bridget Fox 23 Catherine Fox 21 Mary A.

Ann's marriage again - so she may well be the sister of Catherine. Age and father's name fit: Ann's age fits Catherine's sister in census .
EDIT: I saw Ann's age as 1 in some census or other, but can't find it again now. She was actually born 1862, so maybe not her sister after all.
Ann Fox in the Manchester, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930 Name: Ann Fox Gender: Female Marriage Age: 23 Event Type: Marriage Birth Year: abt 1870 Marriage Date: 21 Jan 1893 Marriage Place: Ancoats, St Andrew, Lancashire, England Parish as it Appears: Manchester, St Andrew Father: John Fox, deceased, painter Spouse: Michael Kelly [ father: Michael Kelly, labourer, deceased ]

Sorry Catherine was 22 when she married
A few years ago I was in touch with one of Mary's daughters she confirmed that it was the right family Annie Catherine's sister Emigrated to Canada and her father used to write to her .
So we know that James and Catherine Had John Catherine Annie and Mary I just can't understand why I can't find their births.
|
Also can't find the birth of Mary A Fox, aged 1 in 1881 census posted above. At least not if she's the illegitimate daughter of either Catherine or Bridget.
|
I have looked in the past for Catherine's father James's death but with out knowing when I found it hard to pin point him I even went to a Catholic grave yard where some one had said he might have been buried but they wanted £35 just to check one date? their are a lot of dates between 1901 and 1907

You mentioned Ireland.
Catherine Fox's parents were born in Ireland, per censuses 1861 and 1871.
Interestingly, his wife was a Kelly. She was born in Roscommon.
