John died between 1901 & 1911 but here is Susannah and the other Kennedys.

So, just to update:

YOUR James Alexander Kennedy is NOT a brother of John Gilbert Kennedy and William Samuel Kennedy.

I'm not sure where this leaves you and why you thought James from Moneyragh was a brother of the two men from Ballygrainey.

Please update us as to if you would like help researching John Kennedy and Susannah Black.

This is the marriage of John and Susanna !

You will need to get this cert to get their father's names and to take your research back another generation.

Susanna said that she was from Ballykeel.

I can only see one other Black from there.
