| Notes |
- The following information was received from Adrienne Rosher who is descended from William Kennett's brother, Gilbert William, and is also a distant cousin to me through her Ann Judge.
William Kennett and Louisa James married on 17 Oct 1829 - presumably in a joint marriage with his brother, Richard Kennett and Phoebe Weatherall, as the details are the same. William and Louisa had a rather sad time as none of their children reached the age of majority.
In 1851 William and Louisa were living at 20 Common, Dunkirk. William was aged 43 and an agricultural labourer. William's sister, Sarah aged 57, was living with them.
William died on 4 Mar 1881 "near the Woodmans Hall Inn" in Dunkirk aged 73, of a stroke. He was a farm labourer. M. A. Foreman from Boughton was present or registered the death.
William left a Will written in 1874, proved to his wife, Louisa, leaving under GB1,000. He left cottages to William and James Kennett who were the sons of his "late brother, Richard". Both William and James were living in the U.S.A.. William also left a legacy to Richard Kennett of Graveney, son of his dead brother, Richard, to be given after the death of his wife, Louisa. He left legacies also to John Kennett, hairdresser of Deal (Adrienne's ancestor) and George Kennett, station master of Adisham (two sons of his late brother, Gilbert William Kennett). Legacies as well to Sarah Fowle wife of Henry Fowle and the daughter of his late brother Richard Kennett, and to various members of his wife's family. Most of legacies were for GB50 but were not to be paid until after Louisa's death.
The second child of William Kennet and Louisa (nee James), also named Louisa, died at age 17 of tuberculosis. Her aunt, Sarah James, registered the death.
