Missing the obvious or not?

[Horsley2016]

There was another child born on 3 July 1902 - James - baptised on 7 July at St Sylvesters.

Wow, so there is! I can only assume given they had a son in 1912 named James Joseph (and the eldest sons all seem to have been named James in the family) that this little fella died at some point prior to 1912. I can see Ford Cemetery 1903/1908 entries have James Kennedy entries at age 1 and 6 respectively. Sadly no details on them like addresses.

Where is William KENNEDY b. 1897 Liverpool parents James KENNEDY and Julia McCARTHY  at 1911
census.

Is this William KENNEDY your ancestor?

"..James Joseph Kennedy born 7 Oct 1912."  Do you know that James is their son, or do you mean that you have found this entry on an index.

Census 1901 @  72 Virgil Street
KENNEDY James     25y                                 b. Liverpool
KENNEDY Julia        23y                                 b. Liverpool
KENNEDY William     3y                                  b. Liverpool
KENNEDY Daniel     18y     visitor                    b. Liverpool

The 1911 census has James and Julia KENNEDY, married 14 years. No children with them.

The 1911 census has Daniel KENNEDY 30y, wife Catherine 29y, married 9 years, and daughter Bridget 2y.
Also niece Ellen KENNEDY 6y  and nephew Christfer 3y

I think it is likely that James KENNEDY b. Liverpool 1876/7, and Daniel KENNEDY b. ~1880 Liverpool, are brothers.

Thank you so much! Love a good Census entry! I'm amazed though there's another Kennedy (Daniel) marrying a McCarthy (Catherine!) I wonder if Catherine and Julia were related?!!! I have just checked my records and have Julia as having a sister Catherine....!

The William Kennedy in 1911 appears (by location, address given, age etc) to be "inmate" at St Georges Industrial school which explains the listing as 'alive' on the home Census but not recorded.

The 7 Oct 1912 James Joseph I know for definite is their son as I have his birth certificate.

Did you see what I said about the burials at reply #24?

[ShaunJ]

The only GRO birth that fits for Daniel is in Q2 1882 in Liverpool. mmn McGready. 

The only RC baptism that fits is at St Albans, 28 May 1882 (born 18 May) son of James and Helen or Ellen nee McGrady. Sponsors John Lynch and Catherine Dempsey (that  Dempsey name keeps cropping )

[ShaunJ]

In the 1891 census there's a family that fits at 11 Broom Street, though James is shown as aged 16.
