Note: This page refers mainly to the family of Francis John Kennedy, but it is a 
continuation of information on the Stackpole/O'connor page.
Thanks to Taylor Kennedy for the following:

Hello folks
you too Al, he he he
 
John O'Connor b.Nov.21, 1857 married Ellen Stackpole b. July 11, 1859 .Their daughter 
Ethel Elizabeth O'Connor married Francis John Kennedy on October 18, 1916. They had one 
child, born premature in July 1917 and died October 14, 1917. It was shoetly after that 
they left to reside in Michigan. Here's a copy of what I have and would like to hear back 
from somebody who might have more on Francis and Ethel. I remember seeing a 50th wedding 
anniversary write up in a Michigan paper about 2 years ago posted on the O'Connor page in 
Rootsweb and never realized that it was them. Now I can't seem to locate it. I can provide 
the ancestors for Francis if anybody wishes. 
Take care
Taylor Kennedy
