I would greatly appreciate some help, in searching for this relative of mine.
Harriet Kennedy was born 1848 Broadmayne, Dorset, England.
I have her on the 1861 Census age 12 living with her parents Thomas Kennedy ( Police Constable) and mother Elizabeth, at 42 Vincent Road, Mile End, Old Town, Stepney. After that, I can find no mention of her or any marriage.
Regards
Mary

Thank you Argyll for the burial record.
I have traced all the info on this family, it was just that Harriet had remained a mystery and also her brother John Thomas Kennedy b. 1859 Mile End, Stepney but then that is such a common name !

Thank you for the burial place for Thomas Kennedy as I have often wondered where my family members from that part of London would be buried. He died of Alcoholism and pneumonia.

Maybe - just because of the age.
Don't know much about areas of London:

Deaths Dec 1888 (>99%)
Martin Harriet 39 Islington 1b 215

But it's a common name.
