Hi Mike,,,thankyou so much for this,, Yes my g/grandfather John was living in Devonshire st in 1881 ...which made him 31...born <1850> John Henry Kenney was the name listed as *father* on my grandads marriage Certificate..but we know that It was not the one married to Fanny as i have a certificate showing he was married to Elza,,,PHEW!!! Perhaps you can see why i am puzzled The other b/c i have is a John born to a Rebecca,,,no father listed on certificate,, Dont think i am making much sense here but trying very hard cheers Kate

HiAgain, Just had a look at the 1891 census for both City and County for Leicestershire but couldn't find him anywhere ! ! ! If you want I'll have a good look for him when I go into the Leicester Family History Society some time next week They have better records and maybe I'll be more successful for you. MIKE.
