Update to Thomas Kennedy.

Having discovered Thomas changes his age every census

1841 = 50
1851 = 63
1861 = 80


I found his death details as SEP 1867 age 82 Castle Ward, (Nbland) and found a LDS match for 1785.

His marriage entry gives Embleton, but this is his residence at the time of marriage and the 1851 census gives Rothbury. The match is for Harbottle Presbyterian Church, Northumberland, within a couple of miles of Rothbury town. See PDF

I have encountered Hugh's name a couple of times by accident, but have no record. Will make notes if I find it again.

Marriage register gives Thomas KENNADY of Embleton. I have no further trace. Earlier records seem to use Kennady rather than Kennedy

I am parochial church secretary for St Pancras in Coldred.

 

In our church yard we have a tomb listing over 6 Finnis family members, for example

 

“to the memorial of

Ann Finnis,

she died 5th October 1819,

Aged 79

AII?”

 

The tomb is sadly in very poor condition and we would be interested to find if any living members of the family would be interested in helping us maintain the tomb as our small congregation of 19 do well, with the help of village volunteers, to maintain the essentials of the building and grounds.

 

I would be happy to send some photos of the tomb and more detail if you are interested.
