Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Karen...Have found the family 1901/1911 ...1911 states 14 children b 12 still living...if you cross ref with 1901 there are 10 listed so it may be Margaret is out working in which case you wont find them all on one Census..have you noted John Maxwell aged 71 up the street from JA Kennedy...? Have you tried to find a Birth record for Margaret....?

Member Since: August 2005 Posts: 133 Send Message	Tks for the info.. I am looking for Margaret Maxwell Kennedy bc 1884 in Newtown Crommelin Ireland... There appears to be only 2 Kenndy families in this town in the 1901 census, and I beleive she is the daughter of John Alexander Kennedy and Lizzie Maxwell Kennedy.. found after much searching on different sites .. but cannot get all three names on the one document.. Margaret ends up in New zealnd by 1917 and marries and has a family . Karen
