Kinnels/Kennels of Aberdour

[TunjiLees]

I have been researching Kinnels/Kennels in Aberdour and was wondering if anyone had any connections.

I started from my ancestor Alexander Kinnel. All information is from the IGI Extracted records.
ALEXR. KINNEL - Christening: 31 JUL 1757 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
Father: ALEXR. KINNEL

If we look at the other Kinnels from that period then I think it's a fair assumption that this is the family:

JAMES KINNEL Christening: 20 AUG 1745 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
Parents: JAMES KINNEL / CHRISTIAN FOSTER (I believe James is an error and should be listed as Alexander)

JOHN KENNEL - Christening: 28 APR 1747 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
Parents: ALEXANDER KINNEL / CHRISTIAN FOSTER

JANET KINNELL - Christening: 15 AUG 1749 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland 
ISABEL KINNEL - Christening: 01 NOV 1750 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
Parents: ALEXANDER KINNEL / CHRISTIAN FORRESTER

MARGT. KINNEL - Christening: 16 AUG 1753 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
ALEXR. KINNEL - Christening: 31 JUL 1757 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
Father: ALEXR. KINNEL

ALEXR. KINNEL / CHRISTIAN FORRESTER - Marriage: 13 JUL 1744 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland

[TunjiLees]

Now there is only one Alexander Kinnel born in Aberdour that could be the father, and using the Scottish naming system, it fits.

Here is the family:
MARGARET KINNELL -  Christening: 01 JUL 1707 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
ALEXANDER KINNELL - Christening: 14 APR 1713 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
ROBERT KENNEL - Christening: 23 NOV 1716 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
JOHN OR THOMAS KINNEL - Christening: 11 SEP 1719 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
Parents: JAMES KINNELL / JANET HENDERSON

Now there are probably children missing from this couple, but here is the marriage:

JAMES KINNELL - JANET HENDERSON Marriage: 24 MAR 1706 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland

Marriage record

13/07/1744 KINNEL ALEXR married CHRISTIAN FORRESTER/ M Aberdour (Fife) /FIFE

[TunjiLees]

Here is the likely descendancy of James Kinnel and John Kinnel, sons of Alexander Kinnel and Christian Forrester. Both called their first sons Alexander.

JAMES KINELL - ELIZABETH FAIR, Marriage:  28 JUL 1775   Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
=
ALEXANDER KINELLE - Christening: 07 DEC 1779 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
JAMES KINNIL - Christening: 04 DEC 1785 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
DAVID KINNELL - Christening: 17 FEB 1788 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
(I can only find these children, with quite an age gap though)
James could possibly also be Robert's child. This would have to be checked.


JOHN KINELLE - MARY PATERSON,
CHRISTIAN KINEALL -  Christening: 21 JUL 1771 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
ISABELL KINELL -  Birth: 27 JAN 1774, Christening: 30 JAN 1774 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
ALEXANDER KINELLE - 19 OCT 1778, Christening: 25 OCT 1778 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
MARGARET KINELLE - Birth: 05 FEB 1781, Christening: 18 FEB 1781 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland

Cannot find John's marriage.

Here is the likely descendancy of Robert Kinnel, son of James Kinnel and Janet Henderson. Again, this is the only possibility on the IGI, and again it fits with the Scottish naming system:

ROBERT KINNEL - MARGARET HUTSON, Marriage: 28 OCT 1749 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
=
JAMES KENNEL - Christening: 31 JUL 1750 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
JOHN KENNEL - Christening: 31 JUL 1750 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
MARGT. KINNEL - Christening: 26 MAR 1752 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
ROBERT KINNEL - Christening: 03 MAY 1754 Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
