Hi AnnieKenny,

I have moved your post to a thread of its own. It should attract more attention that way rather than being tacked onto a thread which is not really connected to your query.

Welcome to the forum AnnieKenny,

Just so I can search for you, would you happen to know approximate year of birth for either John or Annie? Also, if you know area in Scotland where they were born?

Kind regards,

Deborah

Hi Deborah,

You are surely using up your SP credits at a rate of knots!!

After your earlier post, I'd looked up a KENNY/LEONARD marriage in the free IGI and found one. Given your find of the Dundee birthplace, I'll post it.

John KENNY m Anne LEONARD, 16 Aug 1875, Dundee Angus.

I wonder whether anniekenny knows about searching on ScotlandsPeople?

Anyway, great finds and fantastic help to anniekenny!

All the best,

JAP

Hello Annie,

Must go off to sleep now but will check back tomorrow and begin searching for Annie McLaughlan (Kenny) and census records for her family for you.

All the best,

Deborah

Hello JAP!

Good to hear from you. Actually, I just looked up marriage details on SP for a starting off point and now finding Census records on A*. As you know, the credits on SP time out if not used within certain timeframe...but good point.

Great that you found marriage of Kenny/Leonard for Annie.

Regards,

Deborah
