Kennedy family of Canisbay 1760-1800

[vanessajw]

My ancestor Thomas Kennedy was born in Canisbay 1762 and his children born in the 1790s-1800 were all born there, or nearby. He married Katherine Malcolm, he had other sons besides my ancestor.

I was wondering does anyone know of any family from this branch that might be still in the area. My line went down to Edinburgh and later to London and Essex, but research records are apparently non existent beyond this date in Canisbay. Does the name and family ring any bells with anyone? Are there any later gravestones or families called Kennedy that might fit in?

There have been Kennedy's in Tresdale farm Canisbay for at least the last 3 generations and possibly many more. I'm sure there will be other posters who will be able to give you much more info.
Good luck
