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

Thank you for finding this information. John Kelly is my great great grandfather. His son, Robert Kelly, is my great grandfather. According to my information, John Kelly's first wife was Margaret Hobson. She died in 1851. He emigrated to the U.S with his children in 1852. He married Ann Hobson, his sister in law, in 1853 in New York City. I thought she might have made the voyage with him in 1852.
