Kennedy Family

[GemmaL]

Have you got the death cert of the 1954 Northumberland death for William Stewart Kennedy?
Just thinking if the informant was his widow or daughter, it would confirm that this William Stewart was the same person as the William Joseph in the marriage.  Then we just have the task to work out why the different father!  But on the other hand if we can confirm they are two different people, then we can move on with that.

Sadly no I don't, the date has came from my grandma if I remember rightly

Is this Kate's death?

Jan/Fe/Mar 1962
Northumberland
Ref 1b 411

Kate A L Kennedy age 68

SO, in the same way, would be interesting to see who registered her death - William Joseph, William Stewart, or a n other?

I know Kate died after him because my grandma remembers her and they didn't divorce but not sure when =/

This photo is 4 generations: Frances Alison (my GGG Grandmother) Kathleen Kennedy (G Gran) Kate Pickering (GG Grandmother) and the baby is my Grandma Frances Isabell Sparke

Silly me! Of course, her death (1962) was after his (1954) so no way could he have registered it Whatever his name!

Lovely photo.

Do you have the couple on the 1939 register which would give some idea of birth dates

Nope, I just assumed his DOB because of the marriage certificate.

I am sorry but we cannot help with a look up on this register due to copyright.

I just had a quick look his birth is 1879 on the 39 register and he's back to William S Kennedy!

This may be a red herring ..... but

Here is the William Stewart Kennedy from Bath on 1881:
Kilmerston Somerswt
Stewart Kennedy 47  Pensioner from 49 Reg on foot bn Ireland
Charlotte 34 wife bn Ireland
Charlotte 7 bn Bath
William 5 bn Bath

But, meanwhile in Northumberland there is ...
1881
Longbenton, Northumberland
Robert W Jenkins 25 Engine fitter bn Walker Northumberland
Mary Jenkins wife 20?or 40?  bn Manchester
John Jenkins 6 son bn Walker
William J Kennedy 6 visitor bn Gateshead


JUst seen your reply - it is actually looking more as if it is all the same person isnt it? 

So - why did he use Joseph for his marriage and a different father?  Ive not found what happened to Stewart and Charlotte. It occurred to me maybe Stew died and Charlotte remarried ot another Kennedy and he used his step dads name ..... or something!!

As well as the Bath one, (where mmn is Walsh) there is also this birth

William Stewart Kennedy
Jul/Aug/Sep 1876
West Derby
8b 322
mmn Stewart

I wonder if that is the one with father Joseph who marries Kate?
