Thank you JSHC and Fortarian for all the wonderful information and links!  This forum is great, I've added a couple of generations to my tree!

Thank you so much!

Wow!  So, Mary Britten married both James Kennedy (Sr.) and John Storrie?  I didn't find a marriage record for Mary & James Kennedy, do you have that date/location?

Also, why would Elisabeth Snedden be listed on the census with her maiden name?  Is that how it's done in Scotland, and she didn't take her husband's name?  Or do records require that the maiden name be listed?  Sorry for all the dumb questions, this is my first attempt into Scottish research, and just don't know all the "rules" yet.

His death certificate shows that James Kennedy was born in New Caron/Carre(?) Barr, Scotland, in 1842, but I have not been able to find such a place.  Do you know where this might be?

Thanks,
VickiNala

Not confusion in this case, John Storrie married Mary Britten in 1855 after the death of Betsy Sneddon, and their respective children Euphemia Storrie & James Kennedy also married.

Thank you so much for confirming that information!  ;D

Eauphiamia Storrie Kennedy and James Kennedy are buried in Johns, Alabama.  I have posted their tombstones at Findagrave, here, along with some information about their children:

Are you researching this Storrie family, is there a website?  Several of us have a lot of research on the family after they came to the US, but I only discovered the Scotland census last night.

Do you know the name of James Kennedy's parents?  His death certificate says James Kennedy and Mary Brittan, but the only marriage in Scotland I've found for Mary Brittan says she married a John Storrie in Shotts, Lanark, Scotland, right where my Storrie family lived.  Was this the same John Storrie who married Elisabeth Snedden?  If so, James daughter who filled out the death certificate must have been confused about her grandmothers.

James and Eauphiamia took in a baby named Robert Burns Baxter.  Robert took the last name of Kennedy, and was my mother-in-law's father.  Robert's mother died when he was a baby, and his father (good friends of the Kennedy's) gave him to the Kennedy's, then went back to Scotland.  We're trying to find information on Robert Baxter.  Could they have been related?  I am also in contact with descendants of James and Euphamia Storrie Kennedy, and they will be delighted with this information!

Does this Christina Storrie Colligan have a sister named Euphamia Storrie

Yes, she does. They are in the 1851 census at 3 Long Row, Shotts

James Kennedy and Euphemia Storry had three children in Scotland: James, 1864; Elizabeth, 1866; Catherine, 1867. In 1880 James Sr, Euphemia, James Jr and Catherine are in the US census in Ohio with John, 10, born Pennsylvania; Mary, 8; Peter, 6; and Euphemia, 1, all born Ohio. Hames Sr and James Jr are, not surprisingly, coal miners.

John Storrie, father of Christina and Euphemia, was the son of John Storry and Jean Black. He died in Hamilton in 1877.

Does this Christina Storrie Colligan have a sister named Euphamia Storrie born 1845 who married James Kennedy in Lanark Scotland in 1862, then emigrated to the USA about 1869?
I have found the 1851 census for this family, I believe.  Parents John Storrie & Elisabeth Snedden.  Just wondering if "that" Euphamia is "my" Euphamia.  Thanks.
