Hello everybody,
I'm new here and I'd like to ask a question of the experts please. I want to find out the name of the mother of Thomas Kenny born in Liverpool in 1884/5. Just her first name would do but her maiden name would be useful as well.
The father of the particular one I'm looking for is Francis Kenny. Hopefully there will be only one with that father although I could be completely wrong and none of them have a father named Francis Kenny.
According to ancestry there were nine boys with the name Thomas Kenny born in Liverpool in 1884/5. I include the districts of Liverpool, Toxteth Park and West Derby in the city of Liverpool.
The Liverpool History Projects website allows me to rule out four of them and possibly two more. This site provides the full names of both parents for baptisms and none of the four have the father as Francis Kenny.
My Thomas Kenny was six in the 1891 census meaning he was born between April 1884 and March 1885 if his age was correct in 1891 (I'm assuming it is for now). So the period I'm looking at is the second quarter of 1884 to the second quarter of 1885 (the second quarter is included to allow for delays in registering March 1885 births). So on top of the four definite ones you can rule out another one for being too young.
So the favourites are Thomas Owen Kenny birth registered in first quarter 1885 in Toxteth Park and Thomas Kenny second quarter in Toxteth Park also. This is assuming I'm not completely wrong. Anyway if I had to get their birth certificates I would start with one of these two.
The other two that might be ruled out by the Liverpool History Projects site are Thomas Kenny first quarter 1885 in Liverpool and Thomas Kenny second quarter 1884 in Liverpool.
Sorry for being long winded. I wonder if anyone can help me with this. Of course none of them might have a father named Francis.
Thanks very much.
On another note does anyone know of any other free sites that can provide the names of the parents for births and/or baptisms?
I've found the Liverpool History Projects site, the Lancashire Online Parish Clerk Project site, LancashireBMD and familysearch.
Thanks again.
