David Kennedy

[betty phillips]

I am searching for information on David Kennedy and Sarah Blair who where married in Ballintoy, Co. Antrim on the 28 October 1895.
From what I can gathered from their marriage certificate his father was John Kennedy an Army Pensioner and her's was also named John and he was a labourer.

David's mother was an Emily Stewart and Sarah's was named Isabella McMurtry.
David and Sarah had 4 daughters named Sarah, Ann Eliza, Emily Jane and Rose.
The both died prior to their eldest daughter Sarah's marriage in Port Glasgow in 1917

Hello & welcome
What info are you looking for?

[betty phillips]

I am trying to find out information on David ad Sarah's parents.

If I am correct David was born to John Kenedy and Emily Stewart on the 08 August 1876 in Ballymoney.
Sarah born on the 24 February 1873 in Belfast to John Blair and Isabella McMurtry.

I am seeking confirmation on the Birth, Marriage and death of both sets of parents and this will hopefully lead me to the previous generation.

Think the Kennedys and Blairs are getting mixed up here  since I started typing the 1870 marriage has been corrected.

Birth: John Blair (1870 Belfast)- parents John Blair & Isabella McMurtry

Yes I noticed my mistake aghadowey 

[betty phillips]

I have found them on the 1901 census and found Isabella and Elizabeth on the 1911 census. John died between the cencuses.

Unable to find much information on John or Emily Kennedy

Have not found evidence as to where any of the parents where born.

John Blair's father according to marriage certificate was named Cormick and Isabella's was named Hugh.
that is as far as i have got

[aghadowey]

For reference here are the Blair family in 1901- John & Isabella both born in County Antrim. If you have their marriage certificate it will list their residences at time of marriage and should show fathers' names and occupations which may give you clues to find their families.

Added- can't see any Cormick Blair in civil registration index (deaths 1864-1921)

Isabella Blair & adopted daughter in 1911-
