I was searching for an Alice Kenny (Co. Fermanagh)....and I searched all "possibles" based on estimated age.....unfortunately she is unlikely to be any of those I identified.

In the interest of general research please find Alice Kenny's death certificates that I found.

In the meantime I am still looking for any details anyone may have for a William Kenny born circa 1832-1834 in Co. Fermanagh (family lore states the Enniskillen area).......he was a shoemaker journeyman........who settled in Scotland.............he was the son of a William Kenny (who died before 1857 (he is recorded as being dead at the time of his son's marriage - in the year mentioned)....and also Alice Kenny (who I am looking for - allegedly her maiden name was Kenny also.....whcih I am doubtful of.............)......Alice must have been born around 1790 - 1810????).....so anything would be appreciated.....
Thank you
William Kenny

Thanks Garvary

That would put "my" Alice around 17 years old when she gave birth to my ancestor - not unbelievable.

Given that Don is related genetically - and that it looks like we are establishing his line more readily - it may mean that my Alice Kenny married one of her "cousins"..giving rise to the fact that on my ancestor's death certificate it states that his name is not only Kenny...but that his mother (Alice) also had the maiden name Kenny...something I can't quite believe....but we are finding that the name is not too uncommon in Fermanagh after all.....

I have posted a general "Alice Kenny" file on Rootschat which demonstrates the Alice's I identified as my "possbiles".....for many reasons I have discounted them as not the Alice I am looking for...........

I will post replies soon per one of my earlier e-mails - response slow (As always)

Kind Regards

Billy

Hello Kenney researchers.  I saw Donles' post from July 2012, specifically:

"Mark Kenny married, first a Miss Reddy, then Elizabeth Hand. There were 2 sons and a daughter (Ann) by the first marriage. The second marriage produced 8 children, Mark, Wm, James, Thomas, Robert, Sarah, Jane and Lizzie.", and

"Send me a safe mailing address via Rootschat’s personal message system, and I will copy you. There are 17 full 8 ½ x 14 pages with charts and notes.  If any other Kenny family Roots Chatter would like this documentation, I would be pleased to mail it to you under the same conditions, as getting this all on the internet could take me years."

I tried sending Don a PM but have had no response.  I'm not sure if he is still actively researching the tree and wonder if anyone else was the recipient of his generous offer to share this tree.  I have a John Kenney, b: abt 1836 in Ontario, the son of Mark Kenney and Jane (maiden name not recorded on the marriage registration).  I believe quite strongly that he is the son of Mark's first marriage to Jane Reddy or Ready and am hoping I can confirm this via the tree Don mentioned.  John Kenney married a cousin of mine and I would like very much to help a direct descendant fill in an important part of his tree.

Thanks!  John.

Hi Sarah, John and All:

I'm still here and will attempt to get my contact data up to date asap.

The Mark Kenny documentation offer is good and I will follow up when I figure out what I'm to do regarding Personal Messages.

Thanks, Don.
