James KENNEDY\Jessie PRINGLE - Glasgow

THink we're getting the Janet's mixed up, Joe - not surprising given that the females seem all to be called variations of this.

I've just found that JAP had also come up with the same one as me :

PS: A possibility for Janet AIRD??
Janet AIRD, parents Thomas AIRD & Grace JOHNSTON, b 21 Mar 1844, Kilmarnock, Ayr

So was it Jane Little who was born Wigtownshire?

Problem solved with a few units:

Janet Pringle, nee Aird died 17 June 1907. her parents were William Aird and Jeanie Torbit   - so why Little on the marriage cert 



So she fits in with these:

i can only find children of William Aird and Jean Thorburn/Torbet in Kilmarnock - the younger ones match.

It's definitely Little on the Marriage cert.

HI Joe and Kenny and JAP

I've just been reading through this thread again 

As a summary

James Kennedy's parents were John Kennedy and Janet McIntyre

Jessie Pringle's parents were James Pringle and Janet Aird

                                   James Pringle's parents were John Pringle and
                                      Jane McWhinnie

                                   Janet Aird's parents were William Aird and Jane 
                                      Little/Torbet/Thorburn/Turbit


I've also noticed Kenny's early posting:

Hi Silvery
Thank you for responding
I cant find James'es parents or thiers

Regards

Kenny

So maybe we'd better look into John Kennedy and Janet McIntyre now

I've been trying to get a fix on our James in the 1901 and the 1891 but I can't seem to find him 

From the wedding cert of Feb 1893, James was 19 (b.c. 1873/4) and his parent's were not stated as deceased. He and his father were house painters.

It's a fairly common name in Scotland so a bit difficult to just find a birth and nothing at all with those parents

Found this in 1881. Not sure if it's any use?

Residence: 27 Lower Craigs, Stirling, Stirlingshire
John Kennedy, m, head, 34, painter house, Stirling
James ", m, son, 12, scholar, Stirling

There's a possible for young James in 1891 (aged 19, however) in Glasgow, lodging with the McRae family and he's a house painter. John is back in Stirling (44, house painter) with wife Janet (born c. 1843 in Tullibody, Clackmannanshire).

Only possible birth on the IGI that I can see is John Kennedy, born 25th August 1870 in Stirling. Parents John Kennedy and Janet Geoch.
