[Ex-pat]

How can I find the families of Immigrants with a not so common name, from County Down to Cumberland in the 1850s or there abouts?

I forgot to ask what name are you researching?

Gill

Sorry for not contacting you sooner, but was distracted by news from Canada on another part of the family.
The name I'm interested in is Kenmare, or one its variations.
i.e. Kenmure, Kenmore, Kenmuir, Kenmire, Kenmine.
There are others, but this will give you an idea.
Robert Kenmure was born in County Down in 1837, possibly Kilkeel.

Hi Ex-Pat, I'm probably grasping at straws here but I have an Agnes Kenmuir b 1799 Leswalt, Wigtown, parents Charles b abt 1776 Kirkolm and Janet/Jean Agnew b abt 1770.
Any connection?
