Trying to find Kennedy

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Does any of the following information sound familiar to anyone? I'm searching for my grandfather THOMAS KENNEDY, born in ROTHERHAM, YORKSHIRE possibly between 1872 & 1892. His parents (names unknown) came over from N Ireland (possibly near Belfast) and settled in Rotherham. He had 2 brothers at least, and possibly sisters as well. Thomas worked at Wombwell Main pit as a miner & lived in lodgings with people called Hinchliffe in Wombwell Main Row (or road). He married a lady called Clarissa Birkinshaw (from GAWBER, BARNSLEY) & they had 5 children (Priscilla who died young, Sylvia b.1912, Terence, Eric & Brian). Thomas later added PATRICK as his middle name, in order I believe to be named after his father. They lived in Barnsley in PALM STREET, OLD TOWN & Thomas died in 1963, Clarissa in 1967. Many thanks
