Elizabeth Kenney

[EdCan]

Would like to find what happened to Elizabeth and sons Charles and David after husband/father died. Elizabeth husband Albert and sons are with her parents Charles and Ann Copeland in Kent Ontario in 1891. Albert died 1897, Ann Copeland died 1897 and Charles Copeland died 1903. I can not find Elizabeth and boys in 1901 or 1911 nor in 1900 US census. Elizabeth born abt 1858 Ontario, Charles born abt 1882 Ontario and David born abt 1884 US.

Esther Ann (Campbell) Rae must have died in childbirth ( note he's living with Campbells in 1891 but no son, so he died as well?)  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F2GW-JHN
No she died the following year  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JD1Y-72P
Is this the son?  Wrong date but most fits  http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=594749

Thanks J.J. - much appreciated

I had another look for Charles and David with no luck. I wonder if they were casualties in WW1 and how would I go about looking for them?

Don't see any marriages off hand for either...Nor do I see them in CEF signups but you can look through yourself

There is a Charles Kenney, and a Charlie Kenny buried in Maple Leaf cemetery Chatham where Albert E Kenny was interred...  http://ocfa.islandnet.com/ocfa-search.php
Oddly none of the children appear on the Wesleyan Methodist Baptismal index...
had you noted the birth of a girl? Ann Elizabeth Kinney https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F224-N94

I saw the possible Charles Kenney in Male Leaf cemetary and also the daughter Ann Elizabeth who was born 18881 and died 1882. The boys went somewhere the question is where.

Thanks - much appreciated

Follow the links on the OCFA site back to homepage "Once you have located an ancestor in OCFA and know the Reference number..." & contact them to see if you can find out more on the Charles & Charlie buried there... You also have a date of death for the mother so perhaps an obit can be found...Also the next census will reveal more, with patience.
( Have swithced the Elizabeth and Ann for the birth of the child, as noted I had written it backwards)
