Another Kennedys Brick Wall
I originally posted a querie in 2019 seeking to locate where my Kennedy's may have originated from before moving to the Kingston upon Thames area around 1850-1860. Unfortunately, today I managed to delete both the querie and the response from Margot.
My 3GGrandparents were William Kennedy b.~1810 Ireland; d.1880 Surbiton, Surrey, England and Mary ???? b. ~1812 Ireland; d.1878 Surbiton, Surrey England. Their son, my 2GGrandfather was John Kennedy b. ~1834 Ireland; d. 1908 Surbiton, Surrey, England married to Mary Gogen (Goggin).
Based on DNA testing my Kennedy lineage is of Munster origin. I have been trying to determine the birth and marriage details for William and Mary and birth details of John. In 2019 Margot responded suggesting John b. 1867 to William Kennedy and Mary Darcy. I have since run a search for Darcy against my DNA results, for which there are few hits. Find my past has suggested Mary Johnston (96%), Mary Collins (88%) or Mary Duff (96%), but am uncertain how FPM is determining their match probability. When compared to DNA results, Collins generates the most 4-6 and 5-8 cousins compared to the other two. I also noted that a known third cousin proven via dna results shows up in the dna comparison for Collins whereas he doesn't for the other two.
Thoughts?
Thank you for any help
