Re: Kidd families

[RJ137]

My grandfather was Thomas Kidd. Lived in Brookeborough, County Fermanagh. He Died 14 years ago aged 86. He had a sister called Harriet who moved to Brooklyn NY. She married and became Franklin. All I've got but would appreciate any help with this

How firm is the information you have given? For example, a Thomas David Kidd was born to parents Thomas Irvine Kidd and Rachel Elizabeth Dunne of Corralongford townland, just NE of Brookeborough, but some years earlier than your indicated birth year:

The same couple also had a daughter Harriet Lila Kidd in 1918, but she went on to marry a John Aichinger in Belfast in 1942, the couple had a son in Northern Ireland and Harriett and the son sailed to New York in 1946, but from what I can see, they lived in Illinois.  (Harriett died in 2002.)

So, a bit different to your information, can these folk be eliminated?

Harriett's obit names POB and parents

I posted a reply (Reply #1) that folk have picked up on,  I think the OP needs to come back with an answer.

Agreed, especially if OP knows of a middle name for their grandad.

Another outside possibility (but again earlier birth year than OP has suggested), was a Thomas Henry Kidd born to a William Kidd and Charlotte Hamilton at Grogey townland in 1910. Not known if this Thomas also had a sister Harriet, but certainly his mum seems to have been of an age to have possibly had other children after 1911 census.

Charlotte (Hamilton) Kidd had at least 2 children after 1911- see reply #6
