Hi Barbara,

Thanks so much for your reply.

My father, William Woods Kennaugh, was born in Barrow on 3/18/1905. His brother, James, was born in Barrow 12/17/1909. Their sister, Ethel, was born in Barrow 11/11/1907. The parents of the three children were Amy Kennaugh (nee: Woods) born 8/24/1880 in Douglas, IOM and William Kennaugh born in Douglas, IOM about 1874 (I know little about him.)

As the story goes, Ethel was killed in a fire in Barrow, exact date and circumstances unknown. Through genealogical research I have reference to an Ethel becoming deceased in Barrow 3/28/1908 and an Ethel buried in Braddan parish, Douglas, IOM on 3/31/1908. I believe these to be the same "Ethel" although the time frame is so close and travel was involved. Some other death references tell me she was about one to one and a half years old at date of death but only 4 months expired between 11/1907 and 3/1908. I have her original birth certificate so the 11/11/1907 DOB is factual.

Any details, thoughts or clarifications are very greatly appreciated.

Regards,
