please can someone help me to find edward kennedy born 1860 in nottingham.Initially I thought he was born in wrexham but it now comes to light that he was born in nottingham and ran away with the servant of his household catherine o'neill who was born in wrexham around 1860.A number of family members have told me about the nottingham link -unfortunately Ive been unable to trace edward in either wrexham or nottingham but he becomes visible when he moved to oldham and then newton le willows with catherine and had a family...
many thanks in anticipation.
