Re: Lonan MI Please
In Response To: Re: Lonan MI Please ()

I was hoping to confirm parents. OK, then I have a real puzzle, the facts are:

IGI details Christening at Lonan for John James Kinley, with Robert Kinley and Elizabeth Knowles as parents, on Feb 25, 1866 and Death on April 2, 1866.

The Lawson's Burial Index details a burial for John James Kinley, age 11 months, at Lonan on April 2, 1866.

So at this point, all looks reasonable, but.....

The 1871 census record for Robert Kinley, age 45, and Elizabeth Kinley, age 40, of Lonan details a son John James Kinley, age 5! All of the other data and children detailed correlate to records for Robert Kinley and Elizabeth Knowles.

I cannot find any record of another John James being born to this couple.

What are your thoughts?
