Thanks for reaching out to us! Do you have any further information about the people you are trying to find, such as first names, birth dates, death dates, where they came from in England, and any children? Every little bit of information helps!

Yes. William (Guillermo in Spanish) Kelway (born in England) married a woman born in Spain called Dolores Palomares and had two sons Alberto Toribio Kelway Palomares (born in Spain) and Carlos Enrique Kelway Palomares (born in Jauja, Peru). William had a brother called Henry (Enrique in Spanish) Kelway who married a woman born in France called Margarithe Berli and had a son called Armando Ernesto Kelway Berli (born probably in Jauja too).

Carlos Enrique Kelway was born in September 20, 1857 while his older brother was born in 1851. What I want to know are their ancestors in England.

Wonderful, thank you! I will do some digging and see what I find!
In the meantime, you may want to check any records you have of the Kelways, to see if any of them mention what part of England their family was from. If you can narrow it down to a specific region of England, it's a lot easier to then search that region for potential birth and baptism records that would have the names of parents.

Yeah. That's the problem. I don't know what part of England they were from, although I found this family tree on Geneanet.org from the Kelways (Link: https://gw.geneanet.org/dcutter1?lang=en&pz=melaine+jean&nz=cutter&p=john&n=kelway) I can't manage to connect them. Anyway, I appreciate the help!

Interesting! That looks like a fun website. This page on the site says that the Kellaway/Kelway family lived mostly around Hampshire, Devon (although that branch changed their last name to Stafford in the 16th century, so they are probably not the ancestors of your Kelways), Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Alderney, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight. You may want to concentrate your search for William and Henry Kelway in these areas first, and see if you can find anything there.
