Annie Kennedy died in Alipur, Calcutta, presidency of Bengal on 18th Feb. 1897 (source: reg. #SA067118). She was Scottish; 40; wife of Sgt. E.B. Gordon. Died of cholera. Informant was A.O.H. Evans Sergeant Army Clothing Dept. Bengal where E.B. Gordon worked. The death was registered 19, Feb, 1897 by the garrison chaplain at the Military Cemetery Bhawanipur Calcutta. I sent a request to a link for the Bhawanipur cemetery but this cemetery link has records only for veterans of the 2 world wars. It is my hope to locate the record of the death of the boys since they died in the same epidemic. My hope is to locate Annie's family. Her father was Donald Kennedy, farmer (s: her marriage to EB Gordon). Her birthdate appears to be circa 1857 since she was 24 when married on 4th Oct. 1881 in Manchester and she was listed as 40 when she died in Sylvia ----- Original Message ----- From: "judy olsen" <copywriter@tesco.net> To: "sylvia glassford" <tlse.glass@sympatico.ca> Cc: <SCT-INVERNESS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 3:44 AM Subject: Re: [SCT-INV] Kennedy > Can you give us the actual death date for Annie?

Yes, she was m. to Sgt. Edwin Booth Gordon and he was stationed in Alipur. Family myth stated that Edwin was away on manouvers and returned to find his wife and 2 sons dead and everything burned. I have found that his wife's name was Annie (source: Edwin's army booklet) and that she died of cholera in India (her death reg.). I found that her last name was Kennedy (s: mar. reg.) So, family myth seems to be correct to some degree. Edwin fabricated his identity. He chose to tell people that he was b. Inverness and that is what his obit. says. I am wondering if this was as a tribute to Annie since there is no connection to Inverness in his history at all. He did pay tribute to Annie by naming the first daughter from his 2nd marriage Annie though this name does not fit the naming pattern which he followed re. his other children. I am hoping to find Annie's Kennedy line in either Inverness for the above reason or Glasgow (Edwin went there after retiring from military service). By the way, Edwin was really a Crudge from Bristol and has given me a merry chase in finding him. Sylvia

I don't have any other info on the McDonald side as far as origins. I've only been researching maternal lines up a few generations, so I stopped with Christine and John Harrison. I do know that one of my cousins was working on the same line, but was running into the same problem.

I'm still searching for anyone who knows the origins of the family. While it is Leek that was their first recorded location in 1818 when Alexander & Janet were married, some descendants believe this was not the ancestoral home. Cousins in NZ believe their ancestor Archie who was Alexanders brother came from Lochaber at a place called Auchluarach. Family history says he & Alexander went to Leek when they were very young after their parents died. This makes sense as Alexanders wife Janet nee MacDonell, was born directly opposite Auchlaurach at a place named Anahcochine (various spellings). Do you have any info on the origins of the family?
