Ann Kenny's Timeline

1852
1852
Leitrim, County Leitrim, Ireland

There are many conflicting documents related to Ann's year of birth. The first record is her 1872 marriage record that showed her as age 20. The 1891 census shows her as 38, suggesting a year of birth of 1853. The 1901 census implies year of birth 1845. I am taking her marriage record to be the most dependable record. If she didn't know her exact birth date, it's less likely that she would be off by several years around age 20.

Ann's age on her death record is shown as 50. That would make her year of birth 1855, not consistent with her marriage record in late 1872 that suggested a birth year of 1852. Her father's name is shown as James Kenny - and this is consistent with her marriage record. Her death was reported by her husband James, and he may have given the information about her father on their marriage record too. It's possible that he didn't know her father's name, but this does cast a bit of doubt on some of the relationships.
