-
| Name |
Anastasia Keefe |
| Nickname |
Anna |
 Born |
31 Oct 1844 |
Caplin Bay, Newfoundland  [1, 2] |
- This birth date was calculated based on Anastasia's official death certificate. It states that she was 59 years, 5 months and 20 days old when she died. Her headstone indicates that she was born in 1845, the year derived if you subtract 59 years from her death year, ignoring the months and days. Other sources suggest she could have been born as early as 1841. In the 1900 US Census, her birth was recorded as Oct 1845.
Although a number of references indicate she was born at St. John's or Ferryland, her family was documented as being at Caplin Bay (renamed Calvert in 1922) when Anastasia was born. Her father, Edward Keefe, was listed in the surviving 1840 to 1859 Caplin Bay Voters Lists.

Abt 1863 |
Unknown |
- In the 1900 US Census, Anastasia stated that she had immigrated in 1859. However, based on her December 1862 marriage in Halifax, Nova Scotia, it is unlikely she had already immigrated to the US. We don't know how long Anna and James stayed in Nova Scotia after their marriage.
Upon her death in April 1904, a local newspaper THE ITEM stated that "The late Mrs. Kelly was fifty-nine years of age and for forty-two years she had been a resident of this district." If accurate, this statement suggests that Anastasia and her husband, James, had settled in the US in late 1862 or early 1863.

- 1900 US Census: Source Citation: Year: 1900; Census Place: Boston Ward 25, Suffolk, Massachusetts; Roll: T623 688; Page: 1A; Enumeration District: 1539; enumerated on June 1, 1900. This census shows that by 1900 Anastasia was a widow living at 495 Western Avenue in Boston with her four adult children. She indicated that she had been the mother of 10 children, 7 of whom were still living. Anastasia also indicated that she had been born in (English) Canada. She indicated that her father had been born in Ireland and her mother had been born in (English) Canada. All children indicated they had been born in Massachusetts, however the census stated (incorrectly) that their father had been born in Ireland, not Massachusetts. Anastasia indicated that she had arrived in the US in 1859.

- Although Ferryland RC Parish dates back to 1789, the surviving records only go back as far as 1870. However, in the absence of a record at St. John's, or the neighboring Holy Apostles RC Parish at Fermeuse, it seem likely they were married in their home parish of Ferryland.

- US Census information for James and Anastasia (Keefe) Kelly based on ancestry.com transcriptions. This is an extract of information taken from the various US Censuses. Be aware that census information is often fraught with incorrect information due to a lack of knowledge of specific family details, a misunderstanding of questions asked and/or answers given. Enumerators were left to "create" their own spellings, and often had to calculate dates based on age at last birthday, etc. For these reasons, the recorded information often differs significantly from dates recorded in church registers or civil records. Remember too that these records have been transcribed, sometimes introducing additional errors due to difficulty in deciphering some of the handwriting, which varies greatly in quality and style.

This shows James and Anastasia (Anna) were living on Western Avenue in Boston. They had eight living children at this time. James and Anna indicated that all of their parents were born in Ireland. It states that James was born in Massachusetts, and it shows Anna was born in Canada (technically incorrect since Newfoundland did not become part of Canada until 1949).
