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...

An outbreak of disease could wipe out your family in a weekend. One week in May 1874 two Kennedy households in Carbonear lost four of their youngest children in 4 days due to the measles.

The Harbor Grace Standard and Conception Bay Advertiser
March 14, 1874

The measles have spread throughout our town and the other towns and hamlets of our Bay. Scarcely a family, blessed with the 'olive branches', but has been visited by this malady. In some instances, six and seven are reported in one family suffering at the same time. We have heard of no fatal cases as yet.

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." http://www.osterville.org/news2003-12-28.htm

....searching on info on Osterville, county Barnstable, Massachusetts

CROSBY Yacht yard Osterville, MA any connection to CROSBIE in St. John's????

>>> *Tremont is hop, skip, and jump to Hyanis 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. http://www.ellsworthamerican.com/archive/news1999/11-04-99/ea_story4_11-04-99.html

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.

Kennedy
