Fiona What other locations might you have for Samuel? For example, do you know where he was married or where any of his children were born. This MAY narrow down the area for people to search for you. I do not think that the Tithe Tax list would be very much help as there could be several hundred Kennedy families in County Down.

Hi Mike, Sorry, I should have been clearer. Samuel KENNEDY was actually married in Ayr, Scotland in 1862. His marriage certificate lists his parents names of Halliday KENNEDY and Lydia LATTA. But I haven't been able to locate either one of those names on any nline source so I'm casting my net wider. It is the 1861 census that lists Ireland as Samuel's birthplace. After a search for any LATTA's in the areas of Ireland (as that was for less common than KENNEDY), a couple were found in Co Donegal. Only one KENNEDY there via Griffiths Valuation Samuel's supposed birth of 1823 (listed as aged 38 on 1861 census). I'm taking the date with a grain of salt as he was supposedly then over 10 years older than his wife to be - not overly common, so I'm broadening it to the 1830's. The reason I am directing my searches to Co Down along with Donegal, Derry and Antrim is because of the small list of Samuel Kennedy births found on IFHS site between 1817 and 1845. But no specific parishes/towns as yet from a census, marriage certificate, Griffiths Valuations plus IFHS indexes. Hopefully that make sit all a little clearer for you.
