Could it have been taken in America? The porch looks quite North American to me.

Its likely that it was taken when family visited family members who had emigrated. I wouldn't know if that would be America or Australia but feel Jojo would be far more knowledgeable than me on that one so would be very happy to go with her suggestion.

Do you have any Kellys emigrating Mo11y? Some of David Kellys family emigrated to Australia, you could have a word with Susan about them.

I haven't come across any of my Kelly's emigrating. I was hoping it might be some clue to them coming from Ireland, with them calling it the old country.

The term "old country" is/was very commonly used by immigrants to North America. Perhaps it was the same in Oz or by emigrants to England from Ireland?
