Find Ancestors

have trouble dont know which site can help I was told my great grandmother jessie (jessica) Kenney not sure if spelling is right. Was her family came from northern Ireland apart of the oranage clan. Not sure if she was born their. I know she got married in hartlepool to a william watts he was from warrickshire Between 1920 and 1924 any help to get started would be fab

What are you actually trying to find out?

The best place to start is with the marriage.....

Look for it on freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Buy the cert...it will tell you how old each of them was, plus the names and occupations of their fathers (if known)

Mmmmmm.........who told you they married in England?

my uncle told me i know hartlepool is where my nana was born in 1924 and where their lived. i have been looking for marriage cert but not had much look finding it yet

There are four births for Watts/Kenny in Middlesbrough district..........the earliest being 1921, and the latest 1938

There is NO marriage in England/Wales

So they either married elsewhere........or not atall

Sarah.....There is a Jessie Kenny Birth Reg Hartlepool June 1899...if you check out the 1901 and 1911 Census you should find her and the family on there...

Vera...Have spent the past hour looking and like Flick came up with zero..!!
Thank you...
Maybe Sarah can move on now..!!

Have found out why... It appears Free BDM is missing a whole section for "all districts" nothing from June 1920 until March 1921

and I thought I was so good finding it before the experts - no seriously when you said you couldn't find it I did a double check to make sure I had the right one. I got it from Ancestry.

Nice one, Vera.

I must confess I didn't think of looking on Ancestry....very remiss of me.

There is no apparent NI link for this family.........the Orangemen are NI Protestants.

Strictly speaking, they were followers of William of Orange, but now they have a much wider remit

Perhaps Sarah will return at some stage.....................................

It could be the descendents were Protestents from Sligo who embraced the Orange Order in the North East of England.

During my years in the North East my home town had ian Orange Club and Catholic Club. Probably still do and yes it was painted orange. My husband from the Republic found it all very odd.

John Kenny may well have been married twice (1881 Census)..his wife Emma would not be old enough to have been mother of Samuel and William....providing her age has been transcribed correctly...

The younger children were Baptised at Stranton Primative Methodist Chapel (Hartlepool) which would confirm a Prot.Religion.
