Hello Cumberland Forum,

We're hoping someone would have access to this marriage entry here below.  We do not have an LDS Library near where we live.  We're hoping someone in your area would have access to a Cumberland Archive with the same record (?).  Any suggestions welcomed.

Stapleton Parish Church (online)
024 Dec 25, 1815 James KENNEDY of Stapleton & Dinah FOSTER of Stapleton married by Banns Witnesses were William Armstrong Ann Foster (X)

The same marriage is availble on Family History Search

Hi Michael,

There's a possible first son named William (unconfirmed); if not first son is named John and the second oldest daughter is named Mary.

We're getting closer though as we get a better feel for researching Northumberland from Ontario, Canada.  It's a learning curve.

Someone online says Kennedy is not an English name, but Dixon is.  I'm seeing Dixon being researched in Durham, England (?)  They say our Kennedys likely came from Ary or Galloway, Scotland.

Any research tips welcomed.

---------------------------------------

Hugh Kennedy & Mary (Dixon) Kennedy had 10 children; 5 born in Markham, Ontario, Canada and 5 born in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. It's unknown if both Hugh Kennedy and Mary Dixon immigrated to Canada together, but they were married here the spelling of the surname "Canada".  The spelling of the Kennedy surname on the 1861 London township, Middlesex County, Ontario census is "Canadey" and the spelling of the Kennedy surname on the headstones including Will / Probates is "Kennady".

Husband: Hugh Kennedy b. 1791 Eng (likely northern Northumberland) d. 1864 Birr, Ontario, Canada
Wife: Mary Dixon b. 1793 Eng d. 1870 Birr, Ontario, Canada
Marriage: March, 1820 Markham, Ontario, Canada (north of Toronto)

Hello,

We're researching our Kennedy family from London, Ontario, Canada, which leads us to Northumberland, England. 

Hugh Kennedy b. 1791 England, (likely Northumberland) d. 1864 Birr, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada Buried: St. George's Anglican Cemetery, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada

Hugh Kennedy immigrated to Canada abt 1820 where he married Mary Dixon the month of March 1820 Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada (north of Toronto).  They went on to have ten children.

The spelling of the surname Kennedy on Hugh's headstone is Kennady.  We also see the same spelling of his surname on his Will / Probate.

Our family has always been told that Hugh came from a community in the northern part of Northumberland.

Any leads on his parents and siblings welcomed.

Regards,
Dan Kennedy

Immigration from Stapleton to Toronto about 1832

James and Dinah (Foster) Kennedy including 6 children (a few born Toronto) immigrated from Stapleton, Cumberland England to Toronto, Canada about 1832

Note:
There's another possible brother of James Kennedy named Hugh Kennedy b. abt 1795, Northhumberland, England who immigrated to Canada abt 1820 and married Mary Dixon. We think James and Hugh are related, because we found a descendant female, daughter of Thomas Kennedy, son of James Kennedy, Sarah Foster Kennedy who was married in the home of Henry and Elizabeth (Kennedy) Scofield the month of April of 1868, Ingersoll, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. A descendant of James (his son's daughter) is being married in the home of a descendant (daughter) of Hugh.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Help to get records of Candian Overseas Expeditionary Force WW1
« on: Wednesday 23 June 10 15:14 BST (UK)  »
I just received an email from LAC and a "snippet" of their email is here below.  They found found Vern!  Minnie is mom.  That was fast too.


LAC writes- When Veterans Affairs was notified of the death of a First World War veteran, a death card was created and those cards are now in the custody of Library and Archives Canada.  A search of that collection produced a reference to Kennedy, V.W,  regimental number 522879.  Unfortunately, the date of death was not indicated but Veterans Affairs was notified 7 October 1927 means that he might have died in 1927.  The next-of-kin is listed as Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, his mother, 410 – 141R St. South Lethbridge, Alterta.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Help to get records of Candian Overseas Expeditionary Force WW1
« on: Wednesday 23 June 10 15:07 BST (UK)  »
I emailed Library and Archives Canada to see if they'll look in Vern's service files for a death date and cemetery location entry / add on.  I'm waiting for their reply (a few weeks likely).  Did the Forces keep track of deaths?  The 54th Battalion said it's quite possible Vern's headstone is a white military type headstone(but is he buried in Canada?).  In the mean time, I was wondering if someone knew another route to look for Vern's headstone.  If in Canada and it likely is, the most probable locations would be BC, Lethbridge AB and Hamilton, ON (?).  The Canadian Legion suggested I contact LAC too.  Are there LAC / 1915 Expiditionary lookups?

Hello,

We are researching our Kennedy family history from London, Ontario, which leads us to Vernon Camp, Vernon, British Columbia and we’re looking for the headstone for our Vern(on) Willard Kennedy's.  Vern’s WW1 1915 Attestation Papers indicate he signed his papers at Vernon Camp, BC September 24, 1915 after being a Vol’s? in the military for 5 years. 

So, we contacted the 54th Battalion and they sent us a ship record showing Vern coming back from overseas the month of April 1919 and then we see Vern being married the month of November 1919 in Penticton, BC, but we don’t think the marriage worked out, because we later she his wife married to the surname Bright and living in the USA.

We then discover the 1931 obituary for Vern’s mother, which says she is survived –only by two daughters, which means Vern died before 1931.  The children were two brothers and two sisters; all accounted for except Vern. 
Before Vern’s mother passed away she moved to Lethbridge, Alberta to live with her daughter after her husband and son both died a month a part back in Ontario in 1909; one daughter to Montreal.  There’s a handwritten note on the side of Vern’s Attestation Papers indicating Vern wanted his pay forwarded to a Lethbridge Bank; banker is husband of the sister / daughter in Lethbridge.

 Would anyone have some suggestions of where to look for Vern’s death date or his headstone?
