IV. Stanislaus Kennedy born 15 Nov 1873 St. Pat's RC Carbonear, NL died as child
Here is a family who lost several children when they were infants and renamed later children after their deceased siblings. Looking at the Northwest Carbonear Cemetery records there are 3 children Mary(1869-1870), Mary Joseph (1873-1874) and Stanislaus (1871-1874) buried in plot 20E and listed as siblings and children of John and Margaret. There are also another 3 children, Mary (1867-1870), Mary (1873-1874) and Stanislaus (1869-1874) who are buried in 57A the final resting place of Captain John Kennedy (1839-1912)...perhaps there is some repetition of records or mistake. It is unclear why the 2 plots were used if all the children were of the same family or whether the 4 who died in 1874 were perhaps first cousins and not siblings...

In 1926 Captain William J. Kennedy (son Capt John
1839-1912 & Margaret Butler, Carbonear bro. of Capt Nick, Capt Terr gson of Nich&Julia) age
61 ,wife is Mary they live on 56 Flower Hill 1921 census St. John's Nfld.
He and ( James C.) go to Massachusetts to work with his eldest son John Kennedy
in Osterville on Cape Cod for Tremont Dredging Co. (you need to dredge
waterfront for boats)
*"Perhaps no single item better represents President Kennedy's passion for the
sea and sailing than his sailboat, Victura, built by the Crosby Yacht Yard in
Osterville, MA in 1932. Made entirely of wood, the 26-foot Wianno Senior was
given to John Kennedy by his parents on his 15th birthday."

Port and dredging continued in 1999 under direction of a Timothy Butler Harbormaster; COULD WE HAVE SOME BUTLER Connections that brought the boys to Tremont in 1926? I have
found Butlers from Nfld. in Boston 1920 living right next door to Stapleton's from Carbonear in Boston and we do have an Ellen/Nellie Kennedy of Carbonear married to a Stapleton (another story) also living in Boston.

Captain John Kennedy (1839-1912) son of Nicholas Kennedy and Grace Young, he was the eldest of the three Capt. Kennedy Bros. (John, Terence, & Nicholas). The naming pattern in this family sends us for a loop. The name Stanislaus must come from Margaret Butler as it is used twice and so is significant.
