[HiFly]

I'm trying to trace a Kennedy family - as found on IGI

Children:

William bapt 24 FEB 1823   Bewcastle - presumably died bef ~ 1834
John bapt 14 AUG 1834 Bewcastle - in Census 1901 - Residence Whitchester, Northumberland, England - Source RG13/4820 Folio/56 Page/8
Susannah bapt 14 AUG 1834   Bewcastle
William bapt 14 AUG 1834  Bewcastle

Parents are reported as John & Susannah Kennedy

TIA - HiFly

Hello HiFly

I am working backwards from the 1901 family to illustrate that this John’s parents were not John and Susannah.

1901 (The entry to which you refer)

John Kennedy Head M 70 Joiner Cumberland Bewcastle

In 1891 the family are split up, so I will jump to the 1881 census to demonstrate clearly that these are the same people. (1891 details later)

HiFly

I am aware that this is not what you were looking for but nonetheless I hope that some of it is of use to you (if only for elimination purposes). I cannot see any of the IGI family that you refer to.

Best wishes

Hi,  Your William born 1823 has different parents, William and Mary and the spelling of the surname is different then the other names that you list which do have the parents John and Susannah. I would think your first William is a different family. This may make them easier to find.  Norma
