I found further information on my Kenny line. I've upated it below:

Elizabeth Hebert (B:1878-1964)
Married: April 1898

Great Great Grandparents

John Kenny Jr (b:1836)
Anne Theriault (Nov 13, 1833)

Isaie Hebert
Catherine Pelletier

****new information below for GGG-Grandparents***

Great Great Great Grandparents

John Patrick Kenny Sr.- 1791-1866 (Born in Ireland but came to NB in 1825)
Mary Ann Drysdale 1805-1893 (born in NB)

Great Great Great Great Grandparents

End of Kenny line (so far) - he apparently had 2 brothers that he came to NB with in 1825.

William Drysdale 1775-1850 (Born in NB)
Margaret ?

Not sure if any Kenny's on here cross paths with the information above. Either way I thought I'd give an update.

Hi Don,

Thanks for looking into it. I've been working on my genealogy for about a year or so now and I'm hooked. I've been getting bits and pieces but once I get to the 3rd or 4th generation there is less and less information to "prove" that what I have is correct. But of course that is not uncommon. The Kenny line is very interesting.

The Mark Kenny angle is a bit confusing. I did find one site that someone had a brief writeup on the Kenny's and said that he married  Elizabeth Hand but also he had a 2nd marriage to a woman with the surname "Reddy" or something like that (Ready?). Perhaps he had a child with the Reddy woman.

The Brideau/Gibbs/Kenny family tree is definetely the one to use. I should have most things updated but gathering "the proof" is still a work in progress.

I am visiting my grandmother Dorina Gibbs (Kenny) this weekend and will be asking her for more information. We had a long chat the last time I spent the weekend there but we spoke more about her siblings. She is the last one still living (92 yrs old) from her family. I am bringing documents of her father (Stephen) such as marriage and death certificate and I am hoping she has something tucked away that she can share.
