In case you're as lost as I was about finding Richard Kennington (William Henry's father) in the Louth, Lincolnshire 1851 Census, here's a photo. For some reason he's been transcribed as Richd Hemington. The family is there and everything matches. Anyone know where they are on the 1841 Census? They should have some children - at least Henry who died in 1853. Anyone know how he died? And what's the deal about having 13 children with 7 of them being buried in England? Anyone have a lead on that they'd like to share?
Richard's half brothers, William and John Onn are easy to find on every census. William (1818) was a brick and tile maker and a farmer on the side. John (1810) was a joiner and carpenter. Both had large families. They lived good long lives.

Henry Kennington of the Richard Family died at sea. He was buried at sea and is in the Family Search records. The barn is not Grandpa Kennington's. My father is William Hugh Kennington and he and his brother Neal put up hay ther and he says that there was no water by the barn.
Holly,
I believe we may be one generation apart on the W. H. Kenningtons. The barn pictured is William Henry and Annie Rebecca's in Afton on the old Kennington place at the mouth of Graveyard canyon.
