    Default 1891/1901 Lookup Request - Kennedy

    Looking for details and family of a Jane Kennedy (nee Lewis) b~1823 (as per 1881 states she was born in Lytto (??) Westmorland - think this may not be correct. Husband is a John Kennedy b1822 Kirklington, Cumberland - she married him in 1875 as 2nd wife.

    Would be interested in the household details in 1891/1901..

    TIA HiFly

    Maybe this is Jane in 1891 census:
    RG12; Piece: 3029; Folio 20; Page 34
    The age is out by a few years, but could be an error, exageration, etc.
    Halsall Lane, Aughton, Lancashire (in the Ormskirk Reg Dist).

    Jane Kennedy, Head, Widow, age 60, living on own means, born Westmorland, Eversham
    (This is probably supposed to be Heversham, Westmorland, near Milnthorpe)


    There is a death in the Ormskirk Reg Dist as follows:

    John Kennedy, death Dec Qtr 1890, Ormskirk Reg Dist, Vol 8b Page 626

    I think this may be them in 1891 in Northumberland.

    Thomas Kennedy 67 1824 Ag lab Duddo Northumberland
    Jane Kennedy 64 1827 Kyloe North'land (looking at the orig. it could be taken for Litto)
    George 23 1868 Ag lab Ancroft Northumberland
    Isabella 25 1866 Dressmaker Ancroft Northumberland

    Ref RG12 4269 folio 15 page 8.

    The place you are looking for is Lyth, Kendal, Westmorland. It is 5 miles from Heversham (in my previous post).

    In 1871 census RG10; Piece: 3823; Folio: 113; Page: 39
    70 Woodville Terrace, Everton, Liverpool, Lancs

    Jane Lewis, unmarried, age 40, Nurse, born Lyth, Westmorland
    She is a nurse in the household of John & Ann Barrows
