Title: Kennedy & Cranmer
Post by: cardinal1977 on Saturday 10 April 10 14:15 BST (UK)

I'm trying to solve a puzzle about the origin of my Great Great Grandparents. Here is what I know:

They Are: John Kennedy, Born abt 1831 and Betsy Kennedy (Formerly Cranmer) born abt 1833.

English Census records show that they were both born in "Perthshire, Scotland" and that they had a Daughter who was born in Lancashire in abt 1855. There is no record of a marriage in the English Index so I'm assuming they married before moving to England.

I know the info I have is sketchy but I'd love to find a marriage and/or birth record for them and if anybody can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Kev.

Hi Carole and DDJJake

Thank you both for taking the time to assist me. I'm very grateful.

DDJJAKE, Betty Cranmer doesnt seem to fit in with my ancestor as she was 2 yrs younger than john, and she wasnt born in ireland. However, I'll certainly keep it in mind.

Re: John. Do you have a copy of scottish census transcripts from which you gleaned the information from?

Yes ... I will PM you with what was removed as apparently not acceptable, even as loose transcribings.
