Where in the World am I from?

Hi,

Here's Patrick & Bridget Kenney in Brooklyn, New York in 1880. All the children appear to have left home. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MZ82-TH8

Struggling to find them in 1900 at present.

Hope this helps though.

Kind regards

David

Edward
CHARLES 10

Thomas

Could this be him on 1875 census?

Oops sorry David just noticed you had already posted 1870

Could this be the Thomas (shown above in 1875) marrying in 1896? https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F6WC-1M8

Kind regards

I'm still researching on the Patrick and Bridget thing. Not sure if that's totally correct. I had heard that Charles was born of Patrick in Hudson City, NJ...but I'm not sure if that's correct either. It's like searching for the proverbial needle.

Dont't think that's right David (sorry can't link as not looking on FS)

1870 Census - Hornellsville, Steuben, New York
Patrick Kinney    37
Bridget Kinney    30
Frank Kinney    11
John Kinney    9
Edward Kinney    7
Charles Kinney    5
Maggie Kinney    4
Annie Kinney    1

1880 Census - Hornellsville, Steuben, New York
Patrick Kinney    41
Bridget Kinney    46
Francis Kinney    21
John W. Kinney    19
Edward Kinney    17
Charley Kinney    14
Margret Kinney    13
Anna Kinney    11
Thomas M. Kinney    9
Mary L. Kinney    5

That means that Charles Kinney/Kanney if one and the same is on the 1880 census twice, once in NY and once in Virginia.

I found Charles Kenney in Virginia during the 1880 census and it states he was born in NY in 1865. Which would make the NY census of 1870 correct with his age. He was lodging with the Kirby family of which he married Catherine at some point. Perhaps a shotgun wedding.

JWKanney - when you looked at the above 1880 census posted does it give a date of birth for Charles?

Perhaps getting Charles marriage certificate to Catherine may help hopefully would confirm his father's name & their occupations

1900 census says Catherine Kinny Divorced

few hits came back for a Catherine Kinny (Kirby)

I haven't seen an exact birth date, but from looking at the records it seems to be around 1865. I'll try and find his marriage date to Catherine to see if that helps. Thanks.

I'll try and find his marriage date to Catherine to see if that helps.

Don't know the accuracy but the ancestral tree posted gave a date of
19 October 1880

and 2nd marriage for Catherine to G A Croft

17 December 1901

Thanks Ladyhawk. I just found that myself.
