| Frederick Ashburnham Kelly | |||
| Place and date of birth unknown, as is the name of his wife. | |||
| It is not known where the name Ashburnham originated. Barbara's grandfather (Percy, see below) was not registered at birth with the name but used it, as did all his children. Family legend said that “Grandfather Kelly” - Charles Frederick - married a Lady Ashburnham and kept her name after her death. This is not true. It is beginning to seem more likely that he made it up out of thin air. | |||
| Nothing is as yet know about Frederick except that he was probably a military doctor/surgeon; possibly, but not certainly, in India. His only known brother is: | |||
| Charles Frederick Ashburnham Kelly | |||
| born either 1811 in London (1871 census details); 1810 in Spain (1881 census details); or possibly 1815 (family legend that he was 60 when he married the second time; this is probably wrong.) | |||

The 1891census finds him, age 15, in an army barracks in Cornwall. He died on 26 December 1896, in
Bangalore, Madras, serving in the 1st Dorset Regiment, unhappy and hating life in the army, and particularly being in India. A friend of his wrote a touching letter to his brother Percy, which will at a later date be available to view on this website. |
