Hi All,
I'm looking for more information about my 3xGGrandparents Archibald Kennedy and Jane (aka Mary Jane) Farrell.
I have a transcript of their marriage on 11 Dec 1866 at St Gregory's, Queanbeyan, NSW.
Neither party has Father, Mother, Place of Birth, Age or Father's occupation listed in the transcript, unfortunately.
James Farrell gives his consent for Jane as she is under 21 at the time, so I estimate her birth year to be somewhere between 1845-1850. James is listed as a Wood-carter, and Jane's usual residence is Wagga Wagga. It's not stated that he's her father, but I imagine he probably is, or could he be an older brother, uncle, or cousin?
Archibald's residence is Bungendore and he's a labourer (later listed in another record as a 'Hawker').
They go on to have at least 12 children, some of whom die as infants and another at age 12 :-(
I came across some newspaper entries where Archibald is wanted by the police for deserting his wife Jane, and then later a notice of divorce by Jane.
Their daughter Ellen Kennedy b. c1875 is my GGGrandmother, who dies young, in 1902, miscarrying her second child. She is married to Thomas Wade b. c1875 (about whom I know next to nothing also. I will post separately for him.)
Any information on the origins of Archibald and Jane - their parents, birthplaces, siblings etc. - would be much appreciated!
Kind regards :)
-
There are 8 births in various parts of Scotland between 1840 & 1845 for an Archibald Kennedy - he may have emigrated to Australia
With so little info it's difficult to say. Have you considered DNA?

Hm, he may have and yes I agree, it's very difficult to say! I'm hoping someone who may also be connected to these families may know more, or someone with access to more records can shed some light.
I have considered DNA... perhaps when funds allow I'll go down that road.
I expect to find I'm very much English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh, but who knows what surprises there may be in the mix!
-
Have you checked whether anybody has a tree on Ancestry for this family
-
Just checked - yes there is one & it has him b Antrim Ireland 1842 father John mother Elizabeth nee Laverty
He died 20.12.1903 Narrabri NSW
Tree has a ship manifest showing the Kennedy family arriving NSW 28.4.1855??
-
Just checked - yes there is one & it has him b Antrim Ireland 1842 father John mother Elizabeth nee Laverty
He died 20.12.1903 Narrabri NSW
Thanks Carole! Yes I saw that there are a couple of trees on Ancestry with him and Jane Farrell, however I don't have full access at the moment and was going to see if I could look them up at the library when next I go.
There was another Archibald J(oseph?) Kennedy around Mudgee and Narrabri, who's not my ancestor, and the above could be him instead...
However, I think you're right! All the other bits seem to line up, now that I've looked at John and Elizabeth's gravestone in Bungendore... right next to it, is a memorial I knew about for MY Archibald and Mary Jane's deceased infants/child.
On that memorial plaque, is also mention of a Thomas and Elizabeth's deceased 15 year old son Archibald b.1854 d.1869.
On my Archibald and Jane's marriage transcript, the witness is a Thomas Kennedy, and I had thought perhaps a brother.
I don't know what Archibald is then doing all the way out at Narrabri at the time of his death, but the find-a-grave site lists him, Thomas, a James and a Margaret as all children from John and Elizabeth from County Antrim, Ireland!
Thank you very much for your help!

Now I understand - his sister Margaret and her husband William Fitzgerald live at Narrabri and are also buried there. It's starting to fit together. Thanks again.

You are welcome😄

Now to find out about Jane Farrell...
-
From the same tree - but I have a couple of "doubts"
Mary Jane Farrell b 6.5.1850 Melbourne. Parents Bridget & James
Remarried to William J Davis in 1896 & died aged 75 in Sydney on 6.7.1925
If Archibald only died in 1903 - did they divorce?? If not - 1896 marriage was bigamous unless she had him declared dead after 7yrs in desertion??

Well, I haven't found an actual record of divorce, but I did come across two newspaper snippets relating to this.
The first in 1890 about a warrant at Captain's Flat (the right area) for Archibald's arrest for desserting his wife Jane with no means of supporting herself.
The second was a notice in the Sydney Morning Herald, in 1895, of Jane's petition to divorce Archibald on the grounds of desertion, so I believe she did divorce him.
But I hadn't found a remarriage, so that's interesting!
-
That's great - at least it's progress!!
-
The remarriage cert is on that tree
13.7.1896 - Jane Mary Farrell - unmarried - 38 - housekeeper. Parents James Farrell & Bridget Tye??
She signed as Jane Farrell
William was a 28 yr old miner - She knocked quite a few years off her age!! She was 46 when they married. Wonder how she explained her children's ages??
Marriage ref is 4355/1896

Very interesting!!
I can't imagine looking 8 years younger after having 12 children!! She was only 16 when she married Archibald if this is all correct, but after 17 years of childbearing, I would think she'd definitely look 46, if not older.
I think it could be her though, because one of her children, her firstborn son, carries Tye as a middle name - Silvester Tye b.1870.
I'm not familiar with the divorce customs of the day though, and whether it was customary to be classed as unmarried, and go back to one's maiden name, rather than be known as divorced and marry with the previous married name...

The divorce papers often contain the marriage certificate and other valuable information, kids etc. If you are unable to visit NSW archives, may be worth asking Rosball to kindly copy the divorce file the next time she visits the archives.

You can obtain details from the marriage register directly from St Gregory's which should have the missing parental information. There is a fairly hefty fee.

13.7.1896 - Jane Mary Farrell - unmarried - 38 - housekeeper. Parents James Farrell & Bridget Tye??
I believe the mother's name is probably Bridget TIGHE
There is the marriage of James FARRELL to Bridget TEIGH in Victoria in 1849.
On the birth regos of children her name is spelled most often as TIGHE and also as TAIGE
A Bridget TIGHE arrived in NSW in 1848 onboard “Lady Kennaway”. She was a 16 yr old housemaid from Mayo.

Ah, yes when I saw the Sylvester Tye, I had thought, if they're Irish, it's probably Tighe and wondered if it was a family name, possibly his mother... I filed away in my mind to search for various Tighes/Tyes etc, so thank you for that record, that'll be good to follow that up! Much appreciated!

I just noticed some other supporting info, over on my other post about Olive Wade's father Thomas here: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=863487 (https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=863487) - that at Olive's birth, her mother, Ellen Kennedy, has a "Mrs Davis" present. That hadn't previously meant anything to me, but now I think it was most likely her mother, Jane Davis.
She's probably not the one who takes on Olive after Ellen dies though.

Ah there we are. That's definitely her.
Syl Kennedy is either her son Sylvester Tye/Tighe or HIS son Sylvester.
Mr & Mrs Chantler are most likely her eldest daughter Adella/Addella & husband or their son Richard.
Mr & Mrs W. Stubbs would be one of her younger daughters Ethel & William Stubbs.
The Hickeys are most likely her daughter Bridget & Thomas, or their son Thomas...
I don't know who Mrs J. Brown is, but most likely a granddaughter...
Thank you for this!

From this I was able to find one of Ellen's younger sisters, Bridget, had married a Thomas Hickey in 1890, and three of their possible children but haven't looked too far into that line.
I have a list of probable Kennedy children of Archibald and (Mary) Jane's from the BDM index.
You can see from other posts in this topic that Jane's father was James FARRELL from their Marriage cert and we believe her mother was Bridget Tye/Tighe (and various other spellings) which would lend support to Sylvester Tye and Bridget being two of Jane's children. Also that Jane divorces Archie and remarries William J Davis.
We now know that Jane DAVIS takes care of her granddaughter Olive WADE from about 1903-5 (from Neale's link https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231843800?searchTerm (https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231843800?searchTerm) ) so I'm now looking further into this line.

Well I was wrong about that! She IS the one who takes on Olive, so am now looking further into that.

There may have been some background in publican work.
Here is Archibald in 1885 proposing to open a hotel in Bungendore. Proposing to the court at Cooma

I've come across these as well, as I went looking for hotels linked with Kennedy, as I've been told Olive WADE was brought up by her grandparents who ran a hotel.
However the licence for the Napoleon was transferred from Jane Kennedy to a Daniel Kearey in 1896, before Olive was born. (not before she is involved in fines for Sunday selling, suing a Thomas Anderson for selling her water instead of rum, and being sued by the Australian Brewery and Wine and Spirit company for non-payment of goods).
If it IS my Jane, this is the same year she marries William J DAVIS.
Looks like the same Jane.
What did William & Jane Davis do then, I wonder?

Oh! Yes, I knew she lied about her age - see Carole's reply #12, where she wondered about how she explained the age of her children - but I didn't realise he did as well! He was half her age. She must've had a lot of energy.
I haven't found any children of the DAVIS marriage.

"I'm looking for more information about my 3xGGrandparents Archibald Kennedy and Jane (aka Mary Jane) Farrell."
Where do you see yourself being now with regard to your original objective?
I think that the death certificate for Mary Jane DAVIS, formerly KENNEDY nee FARRELL would be useful to it. It is an end of life record, made when her family are around to contribute to the information.
