Yes that is the marriage (found on FreeBMD website that I referred to earlier). Catherine Kennedy was born August 1858 Lying In Hospital Saint Lukes Middlesex. Florance McCarthy born c1851 London. Sorry it doesnt appear i have enough information Ann

Hi Ann Catherine McCarthy nee Kennedy's parents were James Michael and Catherine Kennedy. I haev information on her siblings and parents but she is incredibly elusive. Whilst I dont have a copy of their marriage cert, another family member does and they confirmed this it the correct couple. Danielle

OK, can you ask them florences fathers name then please? we need some birthplaces for them both/census earlier positve identification

Do you have the actual certificate for their fathers names or either of the childrens birth certs? 'What' is Florance according to free BMD? is this the marraige to which you refer? Catherine Kennedy 1875 Jul-Aug-Sep St Giles London, Middlesex Florance McCarthy 1875 Jul-Aug-Sep St Giles London, Middlesex Louisa Vandenhoff 1875 Jul-Aug-Sep St Giles London, Middlesex

Yes I know, not a common men's name but is Florance according to FreeBMD. Danielle

catherine married florence? are you sure? if you are, then given the 'unusual-ness' of the names You will have the certificate? What were their fathers names? erm...erm.. Which one was the male in the marriage please? a start at least Fred Furzer 1896 Jul-Aug-Sep Holborn London, Middlesex Ellen Josephine Kennedy 1896 Jul-Aug-Sep Holborn London, Middlesex

Hello I have avoided this one for some time but thought I would try again as someone with more experience will have better luck in solving this one. Catherine Kennedy (born 1858 Holborn) married Florance McCarthy (born 1852) in 1875 in Holborn. I have only 2 children's names are: Jeremiah and Mary A, In the 1901 Mary A McCarthy (born 1890 in Woolich) is living with her Aunt and Uncle Ellen and Fred FURZER. And from what I can recall her brother Jeremiah John McCarthy is on his own at a 'ships yard'. In the 1891 Jeremiah is with his Kennedy Grandparents and is shown as Grandson - errand boy. I have no idea what happened to their parents or their siblings. Any help would be great. I cant even find them in the 1881 now - so I am not off to a good start! Danielle
