Looking for information on ancestors from the Isle of Tyree

[fire]

Hi I'm looking for information on my great great grandfather.  All i know is his name is Angus Kennedy from the Isle of Tyree.  He had a son Donald who migrated to Australia sometime in the early 1800's

Hi,

I think you need to post a bit more detail as early 1800s is a bit vague?

Do you have a rough idea of the yr Angus was born?
Did he emigrate alone or with a spouse?
Did he marry in Aus & have kids?
Do you have dates for his children, where/when born & names in order as the Scottish naming pattern can be useful if it was used?

This has been posted on the Aberdeen board i.e. I will ask a Moderator to move it to the Argyll board where Tyree/Tiree would come under.

I assume you are referring to Tyree, an island and parish Inner Hebrides, Argyllshire.
As mentioned if you can narrow down the date you will probably find the answer on Scotland People a pay to view site, below is the result of a search from 1750 – 1820.

KENNEDY   ANGUS   JOHN KENNEDY                                   15/02/1786   Tyree

I expect fire is confusing the Isle of Tiree with the parish of Tyrie (which is not an island) in Aberdeenshire.

There are no records on SP for a Donald born Tyree father Angus but below born elsewhere in Argyll.

KENEDY   DONALD   ANGUS KENEDY/ANNE THOMSON   01/01/1800   Ardchattan
KENEDY   DONALD   ANGUS KENEDY/JANET MCNIEL       02/03/1817   North Knapdale
KENNEDY   DONALD   ANGUS KENNEDY/MARY MACEACHERN 21/11/1824   Kilchoman

Whilst Tyrie Aberdeen is a possibility there were no Kennedy births there 1700 to 1850 and only one female marriage in 1766.

For Tyree (Tiry/Tiree) you should also consider searching under McCualrig (or variations) when searching for Kennedy.

Donald Kennedy appears to have married Alice Roberts Hardman on 1.9.1858 and celebrated Diamond Wedding in September 1918 (per The Age, 2.9.1918, page 1).

Yes I’ve discovered that Donald ennedy married Alice Roberts hardman here in Australia.  It was in there diamond wedding notice in the paper that I saw Donald’s father was Angus from the Isle of Tyree.  We have had an extremely hard time trying to find anything on the Kennedy side after this
