! I also have James recorded as James O'Kelly, this would have made him a Jr.
! 1860 Census. James and Matilda are recorded on the Madison Co., Ohio census as living in South Salon, Stokes Township. They have 3 children - girls - with them, Josephine M. age 4, Lydia E. age 2, and Martha F. age 11/12. All born in Ohio. Also living with them are John Casey age 21 and Cornelius Casey age 20, born in Ireland. (Boarders or relatives to Matilda, could Matilda have been married before to a Taggert, and maybe her maiden name was Casey???)
! On the 1870 census James is listed as Kelly Helphinstine age 40 and wife Matilda age 39 living in London, Madison Co., Ohio. With them are Josephine age 16, Nelly age 12, Mattie age 10, Sarah age 7, James H. age 4, and Clara age 1, all born in Ohio. Except Matilda being born in Ireland. Apparently Lydia is nicknamed Nelly, and Martha is nicknamed Mattie.
