I have just remembered, someone told me that people add names on their marriage certificates that they dont use such as confirmation names. I think I will go on the 1871 census and see if I can find this Louisa Greer. Jayne

Thankyou very much. I think I will order that birth certificate. Do you think that if that marriage is Thomas that he would have omitted tha name Bartley on the census? Jayne

This could be William´s birth registration - certificate would show mother´s maiden name. William Kennedy Year of Registration: 1875 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Birkenhead County: Cheshire, Merseyside Volume: 8a Page: 550

Sorry Elaine I just had a bit of a battle going on with the kids. Im looking forward to tomorrow when they are back at school. lol Yes that is my family that you found on the 1881 census. On one census her name is Louise and on another it is Louisa. The first born child that I have found was born in 1875. Jayne

I have been looking for a marriage for a Thomas Kennedy. I know that his wifes first name was Louisa and that they had a child in 1876 born in birkenhead. I have searched 6 years either way but cant find one. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thankyou Jayne
