« on: Wednesday 02 September 20 22:03 BST (UK) »
I am wondering if anyone can shed some light, I'm looking for any information or records on a great great Uncle, Pierce Kennedy.
He was born 4th September 1871. Dublin.
Supposedly had Military service.


Thanks

His Father was also Pierce and his Mother Margaret Savage  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1871/03286/2204431.pdf

He wasn't born in Sandyford! :)

Thank you both. Yes he was born in Trinity Place and they were his parents. The Sandyford one doesn't fit and the date 1872.
Thank you anyway.
