Elizabeth Kenna lived on a farm in Moneytown Roundwood Co wicklow.She was born around 1884
but not too sure about that date.She met a man named James Doyle he worked on a farm in the same vicinity called Story's.They left Ireland under dubious circumstances in 1900 destined for the UK (Liverpool).They married & settled in Birkenhead in August 1900 she was 8 months pregnant.They went on to have a large brood one of which was my grand father John Patrick Doyle,named after my grt grt grand father who was deseaced by the time Elizabeth & James married in 1900.One of Elizabeths brothers Patrick was sent to UK to bring her back but he also stayed & married in UK.I have lots of info & met Elizabth Kenna's family but i need info on the James Doyle she married.I do not know his mothers name nor any siblings.If any Kenna's out there think they can help i would appreciate a reply.So till then i will keep on looking.thanks in advance Julie Redman

Classification: Query
If anyone has anymoe information on the Doyle and Kenna family that this thread relates to, then I would love to find out more about them. Their oldest daughter, Mary Elizabeth (b.1900), is my great-grandmother. She is the child that Elizabeth was pregnant with when they moved to Birkenhead.
My Grandmother believes that Elizabeth (b.1881) and James (b.1870) had around 20 children overall, so there should be plenty of decendants! All I know of from the generations before them is that Elizabeth's parents were Timothy Kenna and Ellen Davis, and James's father was John Patrick Doyle.

I think that these are the names of some of Elizabeth's siblings (Timothy and Ellen's children); Bridget, Ellen, Dennis, Mary, Michael, Patrick, Susan, Thomas and Timothy.

Some of Elizabeth and James's children's names are; Ellen, John Patrick, Margaret, Susan, Mary Elizabeth, Eileen and Kathleen. But this isn't all of them.

I have found the 1901 census, which shows Elizabeth and James living with Mary Elizabeth in Birkenhead, with Dennis, Elizabeth's brother, visiting.

If anyone has anymore info then it would be greatly appreceated.
