Thank you to those who replied to my post re the above people in my tree. I have just returned to researching after a long break, primarily to add sources to names where they are missing.  In the very early days of my research I found Michael Kennedy b 1740 on Ancestry under Ireland births 1620 to 1911.  My 'proof' was the transcript of a baptism record with an attached FHL number.  His father was named as Morton Kennedy.  I can't recall where I found a birth date for Morton, so appealed to the list in the hopes of finding guidance towards this source. From replies that I have received I appear to be way off the mark, in that records for that period are almost non-existant, and then only for the gentry.  My Kennedy clan were humble coal miners.  Thank you to all the people who put me right.  My tree shall now be two generations lighter.
