Hello
Thank you for the information It is more than useful. I also had the name Wares but had got sidetracked by someone sending me a tree with all the same names but wrong dates. So thank you for this I will now hopefully go down the correct route. There are so many Kennedys that it is really confusing.
John Kennedy b 1850 m Jane Jack His father was John Kennedy b1821 or 1823 m Isabella Wares and his father I believe was David Kennedy b 1798 m Isobel Bremner
If you or anyone can help more I would be eternally grateful
Thank you once again

Jane Jack is an ancestor of mine. Sarah Jordan has info the family here:
http://www.sarahjordan.talktalk.net/Jackhtml/f60.htm

The tree is the Jack side though, not the Kennedy side.

Thank you for the Jack website Totally fascinating and I have been able to sort some dates out.
Jane Jack is my great grandmother on my fathers side she married John Kennedy 1871 had son John Kennedy 1872 who in turn married twice and had my father David 1923 (from his second marriage)
If Jane Jack is an ancestor of yours are we related in some distant way?
Anyway thanks again
Jill

John Kennedy born 22 2 1872 in Anderston Glasgow I don't know how long they were here for but other children born after 1872 in Dunnet and Wick as far as I can make out. Later moved to Barrow in Furness Lancs
I honestly don't know if he worked on the railways
At the moment most of the info I have is in the UK (I live in Spain) and until we move back I can't get hold of bibles and certificates etc

Jane Jack's father, Alexander was brother to my gggf, William who married Elizabeth Leisk.

I think that makes us 3rd or 4th cousins.
