Cumberland Completed Lookups / Re: 1861/1871 - Lookup - KENNEDY - COMPLETED
« on: Friday 27 March 20 22:45 GMT (UK)  »
Since my message a few years ago about my Kennedy family from Carlisle  I can now update the information, some of which was wrong!  Mary Magee was married to James Kennedy.  (Can't find info on wedding but her Dad was THOMAS Magee.  I have found Thomas Magee on censuses in Yorkshire,  Whitehaven and Carlisle).  James Kennedy died young and she married a James Jackson and had a daughter.  Mary and James Kennedy had a few children, one of which was Hannah Kennedy who had my great grandad John Kennedy.  His birth certificate did not include his Dad's name but it was his marriage certificate which said his Dad was John Kennedy a bricklayer.  John married Martha Elliot(t) in 1899.   That's another thing.  I have their wedding certificate showing her Dad was Henry Elliot(t) but he is on censuses as Henry Pennington at times instead of Elliot!

Dear Hifly

It's Christine actually !!  Paul's the husband hence part of the email address.

I don't know anything really as I am quite new to all this but I was claiming this same family as I do know that my great grandad (John Kennedy's ) Dad was also called John as I sent off for the wedding certificate. 

There are a lot of Kennedys that came from Carlisle though.

I had already found the info which Tati had put in his message to you .  What I can't understand is that I have previously found Mary (Kennedy? Jackson?) either on her own with children, (widowed ?) then married to someone called Jackson and then later on married to another man - James Magee.  I don't know her first husband's name (John's Dad) which I am interested in.  Or who her son John (born C1854) married and the mother of John (born 1878) (my Great Grandad).   

I do intend going to Carlisle Records Office before winter sets in to try and find out as I want to be able to tell my Dad all about his ancestors!  He can't remember much about the family - he is 78 now.  His Dad and Grandad worked on the railways and my Dad, his brother (another  JOhn) and his parents all came down to live here in  Manchester when Dad was only a little boy.

Unless you know exact dates of births etc you can be following the wrong family, can't you?

Thanks again. 

Christine

I think this family might be mine.  Do you know if your John Kennedy had a son called John (born 1878 ish)  in Caldewgate, Carlisle, and was married to a Martha Elliott? - These my Dad's grandparents and I have a copy of their wedding certificate.  Are these in your tree?  If so, do you know who was John's wife?

Thank you.
