Missing the obvious or not?

James Kennedy married Ellen McGrady at St Alban's on 10 June 1878 - so perhaps not his first wife

Blimey this is getting interesting and confusing in equal measures!!  Thank you all so much for opening up lots of new lines.

I looked at the Daniel Kennedy & Catherine McCarthy St Sylvesters marriage- If we assume from the previous post that Daniel was indeed a brother of James then on this marriage cert. Daniel is son of Jacob (James) and Catherine McCarthy's Father is William , which ties this family accurately together. they married on 26 July 1902 - the same month her sister had James Kennedy baptised there??

The Dempsey name is interesting - Catherine Dempsey is a sponsor of Daniel's birth and we have a Maria Ellen Dempsey witness at Daniel's Mother's marriage... So another tie between this family the McCarthy's? However, I have Daniel being born in 1884 according to the 1891 Census where the family seem to be at 1 Court 6 House Penryhn Street. And that line is MMN Duggan (Father William McCarthy.)

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

Possibly buried 13 Dec 1908, aged 6, at Ford Cemetery.

There’s also a James Kennedy burial at Ford in Dec 1903, but the age of 14 months doesn’t match a July birthday.

AVM - thank you. I agree, it wouldn't add up so most likely to have been the 1908 age 6 record.

I have them at 11 Broom Street. See reply#35.

Looking at that family at 11 Broom Street in 1891, I am wondering if the enumerator has got James and John the wrong way around. There was a John Kennedy born to James and Mary/Maria Kennedy mmn  Smith,  on 18 October 1874, baptised at Our Lady of Reconciliation de La Salette on 18 November.

I quite agree with you. Can only see the list on your link - thought I would easily find it on ancestry... nothing's easy on ancestry!!  Will keep searching for it.
