This is the arrival of John Kelly, his wife, & their 3 children in the port of NY on 24 Jun 1852 on the ship Isaac Wright. I do not see Ann Hobson on the list. New York, U.S., Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists (including Castle Garden and Ellis Island), 1820-1957 - Ancestry.com

[RRFP 25-06494 CC]Thank you for finding this information. John Kelly is my great great grandfather. Robert Kelly is my great grandfather. From my research I learned that Margaret Hobson was John Kelly's first wife. She died in 1851. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1852. He married Ann Hobson, his sister in law, in 1853 in New York City. I thought she may have come over with him and the children in 1852.
