George Kelly was Curate at Badsey and Wickhamford during the tenure of the absentee Vicar, the Reverend George William Auriol Hay Drummond. He performed four marriage ceremonies at Badsey in a period between August 1785 and February 1786.
It is possible that he was the Reverend George Desmith Kelly, Prebendary of Southwell, who married Miss Laye, daughter of Captain Laye at Doncaster in April 1789. Reverend Drummond had become Vicar of Doncaster in 1785 (in addition to Badsey) and so may have become acquainted with George Kelly. If that is the person who was at Badsey, then he entered Christ Church, Oxford, in 1780, aged 19, being awarded BA in 1784 and MA in 1787. Those dates would fit with him being a Curate at Badsey, as the tendency was to recruit young men straight out of university. This Reverend Kelly became prebendary of York in 1801, Vicar of Wirksworth and Rector of Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire, in 1815 until his death on 17th October 1823.
