Notes:

Birth:
The family surname was spelled Kelley and his second forename appears to be spelled Cennilli, however this name was usually spelled Zanilla, the married surname of his paternal aunt Mary. His father, James, is listed as being born in Brighton, MA and his mother, Anastasia, at St. John's [Newfoundland]. They were living on Western Ave. and James was employed as a butcher.

Draft:
Although Henry signed a Draft Registration Card in 1918, it doesn't appear he was ever called up for active duty.

Draft:
This record shows his Draft Registration Card, but it is unlikely that he was called to duty at the age of 64. His name was given as Henry Zinilla Kelly, living at 11 Elko St., Brighton, Mass. His daughter, Theresa Kelly, given as his next of kin, was living at the same address. He is shown as having a live stock business at the Brighton Stock Yards.

Agnes (daughter of Peter Gordon and Margaret Higgins) was born 24 Aug 1873, Somerville, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States; died 12 May 1927, Brighton, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; was buried 14 May 1927, Brookline, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.
