Family Tree of Northumberland Keirven's
There were three marriages that led to the ten children associated with James Keirven:
- James KEIRVEN and Isabella SNOWDON in 1904, resulting in Johanna KEIRVEN (b. 1905), Elizabeth (b. 1907), and George (b. 1910). This is shown as (1) in the figure.
- Margaret DUDDING and Thomas CONNON in 1911, resulting in William (b. 1911), George (b. 1912), and Charles A Connon (b. 1914). This is shown as (2a) in the figure. William and Charles A became Keirven’s when James married Margaret.
- James KEIRVEN and Margaret CONNON (nee Dudding) in 1918, resulting in Nora (b. 1917), James (b. 1922), John L (b. 1924) and Robert F (b. 1931). This is shown as (2b) in the figure.
There is still some leads to investigate (indicated by the question marks).
Updates/Notes (diagram still to be updated):
- Johanna KEIRVEN (b. 1871) may have died in Q1 1893 (based on another family tree in Ancestry and FreeBDM entry for Johanna Barnes that matches).
