Hello Root Chat,
I've run into a brick wall, trying to trace the origins of my GG-Grandfather David Kennedy (b.~1834) in Paisley, son of John Kennedy (labourer) and either Mary Allison or Christina Shaw. David married Ann Keith in Greenock on 2 Jun 1857. His father John was already deceased by then. I have managed to find him in the census records for Greenock from 1861 until his death in 1903. There is also a good match for him in the 1851 census in Netherhall, Largs, Aryshire as a farm servent. I have, however, been unable to find a conclusive matach in the 1841 census, or a baptismal record for David on Scotland's People.
This is the same family as referenced in these posts:
