What is recorded here
Thomas Kelly is a birthplace in County Waterford, Ireland. Perhaps a boy ran barefoot through wet grass before leaving for Australia to strike cricket balls with unusual force. Maybe his mother watched a small figure disappear toward ships, never knowing he would become famous on another continent. Imagine the quiet field where a global athlete first drew breath.
Why this person is known: Australian cricketer (1844-1893)
