Have you looked at the entries in Donald Whyte's books on Scottish emigrants to Canada, as there seem to be several groups of Kennedys (or one big family) from the Falkirk area who went to Egremont?

Sorry for the delay in answering guys but i didn't recieve an email to say that one of my posts had been answered.
Thanks for your time Sancti. Yes this is the correct  Ann Kennedy she was living in Edinburgh at the time of her marraige. I had considered the fact of the Scottish habit of naming and did consider David to be their fathers name due to other possible siblings [ also emigrated to Canada ] having named their first child David also, until i came across Anns marraige cert which says that her father was John. This is the correct Martin but i did not realise that he also had named his first child David as i only had him on the 1851 census with one child named John age four.
The case may be as Falkryn says [ and thanks for your input too Falkryn ] that this family may have belonged to one of the breakaway churches. I have quite a few possible siblings from this family [ found on the papers from Canada ] but cant find births for any of them.
Ian thanks for the info on the book i have just ordered one, although i was only able to get a secondhand paperback version, so hopefully it will arrive quite soon. This Kennedy family of which there are five possible siblings and their respective families left the Falkirk area sometime around 1853 and settled in Egremont , Canada so its possible that its them in the book.
I am hoping to make a trip to Edinburgh soon to see what i can find up there.
Thanks for all your help

Did you find the information you were looking for?

Ann ended up in Egremont Township, Grey County, Ontario, Canada with her brother John Eddie Kennedy. Martin died in Hamilton, Wentworth County, Ontario shortly after arriving in Canada. CAn share more if interested.

I'm also looking for verification of Ann's parents.

Hi Bougie,

I am also on the hunt for Anne Kennedy Gordon, her siblings and her parents.  It has been a while since you posted here and I am hoping that you might have made some headway.  I have Anne having six brothers...
