Hi There is a lot of delia kenny,s coming up on incoming passenger lists mainly from the usa, also a delia manly arrived in 1914 .could you narrow down her age from her marriage cert Irene

OOPS you did give her age Irene

Delia Kenny married John Manley on the 28 May 1915 her age on the marriage cert is age 22 this makes her born about 1893.

Hi,
Just wondering if you have found Delia in the 1911. They are extremely thin on the ground so should be easy to find. I had a look in the 1901 and could find only 2 in England and Wales but their year of birth was way out. However only one of them had a father Michael:

KENNY, Michael - Head - Married - 48 - 1853 - Dock Labourer - Ireland.
KENNY, Jane - Wife - Married - 40 - 1861 - Ireland.
KENNY, John - Son - Single - 23 - 1878 - Bricklayer's Labourer - Ireland.
KENNY, Martin - Son - Single - 18 - 1883 - Dock Labourer - Ireland.
KENNY, Joe - Son - 10 - 1891 - Ireland.
KENNY, Delia - Dtr - 17 - 1884 - Working In Paper Mill - Ireland.
KENNY, Janey - Dtr - 15 - 1886 - Working In Paper Mill - Ireland.
KENNY, Kate - Dtr - 9 - 1892 - Ireland.
KENNY, Emmy - Dtr - 7 - 1894 - Ireland.

Address: 65, Harmsworth Street, Pendleton, Lancashire.

If this isn't her because of being 10 years older than her marriage cert says she is, you have to find her in 1911. If she is there you will have her birth place. If she's not there she could be an immigrant after April 1911, or born in Scotland or Ireland, or might have been born with another surname.
