Jane McKenna, wife, 30
Peter McKenna, son, 13
Jane McKenna, dau, 10
Elizabeth McKenna, dau, 3 (born in Jarrow?)

Thank you

Tabitha

Thank you Jan, at least now I know I'm not barking up the wrong tree! 

If anyone has access to the full census transcript etc. I'd be really interested in birthplaces for this family.

Cheers

Hi John,

Thanks very much for the additional 1851 details 

I haven't been able to track them down in 1861 at Durham Records Online as yet ....not helped by the fact they seem to call themselves McKenna and also Kennedy

The son Peter is living in Houghton-Le-Spring in 1871 with his wife & family on the census the family name is given as Kennedy but Some of Peter's children were registered with the name McKenna!

Thanks again,

Tabitha

Tabitha,

A wee snippet...hopefully helpful...

 I do not think "DurhamRecordsOnline" site has yet transcribed any info for any census for Jarrow/South Shields area.

See "Census Info" from menu in left hand margin.

Hi Michael

Very useful snippet and timely reminder, thank you 

I've got so used to finding most of what I search for I forget that their records aren't complete
