History of Kilkelly Family Charles Randolph Kilkelly, the man who commisioned the family tree by Crossle. Charles Randolph was a man of considerable note being High Sherriff of Galway in 1914. He served as a surgeon major with the grenadier guards in 1898 in India and Africa. His son Edward was killed in action at Ypres during World War One at the age of twenty-one. He was said to be a benevolent landlord and was involved in a Moycullen co-operative society and store in Moycullen along with the rest of the local community. He set up a trust fund to aid those in need in that area. He sold Drimcong in 1927 and moved first to Canada and later to Kenya. Charles Randolph died in 1957 [error] and is buried in Kenya.
