Hi: My Grandmother Margaret Amybell (Amy) Kennedy, born 4/4/1877 In Dublin. Lived with Rebbeca Amor at 220 Northumberland Park, Tottenham, London round about 1902/1903.I believe she could have been a music hall artist or classical pianist during those dates.

Can anyone help. Many thanks.

Doris

A tree on Ancestry says that she was born 4 Apr. 1877, Lower Mount St., Dublin to George Kennedy & Mary Hutchinson and that she married Francis Verrill Brown 28 July 1904, Surbiton, Surrey. 4 children.

Hi all, Thank you very much for your replies. I found Amy Kennedy eventually. The difficulty was my mother's birth certificate was inaccurately completed. the birth certificate showed the father as George Kennedy (Music Hall Artist) and the mother Amy Hutchinson(FALSE).
My mother Marguerite Doris Kennedy was born 15/5/1903 in Edinburgh. My mother was left in Edinburgh with a family named (Pennycook) & subsequently adopted here in Edinburgh. I don't know where the connection is with them.
I took a DNA test last year which showed her parents to be Francis Verrill Brown & Amy Kennedy. Thank you once again for your assistance. Doris
