David KENNY - 61/71 Census

[MartinW]

I am new to this having been persuaded by KennyB to have a go!  I have a David Kenny born 1855 in Elstree, Hertford married to a Rebecca Kenny, born 1840 in Gawcott, Bucks but no further details.  Can anyone help with a 1861 or 1871 census on any of this?

To Nicky & Claire.....

Wow!  First time on Rootschat and I get such a response.  Wonderfully impressed although Ken tells me I should have gone on 'Request'!  We live and learn.  Thanks very much to both of you - will now have to try and sort out my brain.

Hello,

I am a relative of John Kenny and we are also looking at records. So far we have gone back to John Hall who married Elizabeth Taylor 20 Sept 1755 at Ridge. I would really like to go back further. Thanks for any help.
