I am desperatley trying to find the birth date and parents of David Kennedy born in Dundee around 1810.
This is the only info i have on him at the moment:
David Kennedy married Margaret Nicol in Dundee 1st April 1834.
I have no birth date or parents names and would very much appreciate any help.
Margaret Nicol was born in 1807 so i presume David was also born around that time.
I know in the 1881 census for Cowgate Dundee Margaret was listed as head with 3 of their 4 children but no sign of David.
I would have thought that if he had died she would have been listed as widow.
Please can someone help.Anne.

Moscan,thankyou so much for takeing the trouble to look for me.I did about 2 years ago find the birth of David Kennedy 1810 parents William Kennedy and Margaret Gowans but i am still not 100% sure this is my David,i know his marriage date is definatly right,and i know he was born in Dundee.He is a complete mystery,i cant even find his death.As regards to Margaret Nicol i have her parents they were Alexander Nicol and Jean Cant,i have Alexanders parents but not Jeans.I have an 1881 census record for 85 Cowgate Dundee with this info.Margaret Kennedy married age 74 Sack Sewer born Mains,Angus.Mary Kennedy daughter single age 40 Mill Worker born Dundee.Margaret Kennedy daughter single age 31 Reeler born Dundee.Edward Kennedy son single age 32 Cork Cutter born Dundee.This is also confusing,i have a burial record for Ann Kennedy died age 5 months in 1819 parents William Kennedy and Margaret Gowans,if this is my Davids sister that means there is a 9 year gap between the births of David and Ann,i dont think so do you.Anyway let me know what you think.Anne.

I popped back onto Scotlandspeople when I got your message... there are 43 Jean Cant births beween 1700 and 1834 but to narrow it down it would help if you knew roughly where she came from...as none of them are from the same parish where they got married in
16 Dec 1789 CANT JEAN ALEXR. NICOLL F MAINS AND STRATHMARTIN 307/00 0003
As to the 1881 Census... if she was born in 1807 as you thought she would be 74 ... the entry I found was
Dwelling: 174 Seagate
Census Place: Dundee, Forfar, Scotland
Source: FHL Film 0203485 GRO Ref Volume 282-4 EnumDist 2 Page 13
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Margaret KENNEDY W 75 F Dundee, Forfar, Scotland
Rel: Head
Betsy KENNEDY U 50 F Dundee, Forfar, Scotland
Rel: Daur
Occ: Jute Spinner
Ann KENNEDY U 13 F Dundee, Forfar, Scotland
Rel: Grd Daur
Occ: Shifter Half Timer
Jane ABERNETHY U 25 F Dundee, Forfar, Scotland

Agnes MARSHALL U 28 F Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

Edward KENNEDY U 32 M Dundee, Forfar, Scotland

I agree it could be either but since one was widowed lol... I thought it may be her like you I could not find a David Kennedy of the right age... I should have said last night that I did find a David Kennedy but much younger... could he be a son I wonder... I do have all the discs for the 1881 Census and will happily do any searchs for you on them...
I do agree with you it is unlikely that they would have had a 9 year gap between children.... I will look again on Scotlands people when I get a few more credits... I do budget myself to 60 a month lol... but I won't forget you and will stay in touch if I find anything...
Best Wishes
Mo

Mo,thankyou again for your help.Regarding Jean Cant,her husband Alexander was born in Little Inch Kirrimuir Angus 29th Jan 1765 so i am presuming she would have been born around the same year and they married at Mains and Strathmartin,i dont know how close together these places are but i should think she should be somewhere close by.Dont worry about her Mo you have been so kind already.Regarding Margaret Kennedy she did have a son David born in 1836 so the family at Seagate could be his siblings.Thankyou so very much for your help,it is very much appreciated.Anne.
