William Kennedy married Emily Tilstone Sellers 23 September 1855 Manchester Cathedral. but I don't have a census with William listed Emily moved to Congleton with her children She remarried in
1879 18th February at Manchester Ardwick St. Thomas. I assume William Kennedy must have died.
So please any info on William Kennedy, birth, Census address or death info.
Many thanks
