Where in the World am I from?

[Ladyhawk]

I'm not sure if this will throw a wrench into what we've been finding, but here are the 1900 census records for a Chas Kinney...born in Ireland...and in the correct county of Virginia.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MMF6-QK7

listed as single and not divorced.

Good find everything is worth pursuing even if it's not a perfect match  - perhaps he thought of himself as single after his divorce 

So next is finding the whereabouts of

Chas/Charles 1865, Catharine 1860, Olive 1883 & Grover 1885 Kinny/Kinney/Kanney in 1890

son Matthew not born until 1892

[heywood]

The 1890 census was destroyed - only fragments left and not Virginia 

I wonder where he is in 1910 and 1920? - or at least where is that Charles.

   What a shame that census may have solved some of the questions about Charles

Just to say I've edited my post reply 46
Re: Draft Registration of Grover Cleveland Kinney born 1885
looks as if it's another by the same name born 1885

here's another link to the marriage in 1907 which gives parents names
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XJJH-MK5

so if you do get the 1880 marriage certificate of Chas Kanney & Catharine Kirby you may get some answers about Charles' parents - fingers crossed.....

Please come back and let us know if you do 

ADDED

If they all married perhaps it may worth looking at one of those m/c to
Olive, Grover or Matthew

Heywood gave this link for 1910 census as a possibility for Grover & his brother
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MPL9-YL7
Grover C KANNEY age 28 born 1882 Virginia
wife Mabel S, children Grover C, Rosebud, William M
Brother Mack A age 24 born 1889 

from 1900 census Catharine KINNY's children dob differs
Grover b1885 & Matthew b1892
as there's no 1890 census can't compare names or ages 

I wonder what happened to their daughter Olive?

Don't know if this makes any difference but her pob has been left blank on the 1900 census
born Feb 1883, where as Grover b Mar 1885 & Matthew b Jan 1892 are given as Virginia
and both their parents pob is also given as Virginia

Further to heywood's post re: 1910 census this could be Mack A
(apologies if I'm duplicating info. but the thread is rather long to keep going back and forth.........

Thanks everyone for all the research you each have done. Soon I'm going to rebuild my tree on the LDS page. I found some info on a different website that was for a different family that had Charles and Catherine in their tree. It gives his birth year and her year of death as well as their children. I saved the info on my computer at work; I'll post it on Monday when I return. I'm off to Tennessee for the weekend with the wife and kids. Thanks again.

Everything you have been given is a clue about where to look for REAL records, some have even given you the record cites so you can check those, NOTHING is real until you check those real records and NO one else's TREE online is real, they are NOT records and again you need to research and find the real records before you can know if they are real or not

[heywood]

Yes looking forward to seeing any other information.
Have a great weekend

What information do you get on a marriage certificate in the US?

This is going to vary by state and time frame.  Same with death certificates.
