 A Jane Kearney (surname recorded as Kennedy at marriage)is stated to have accompanied her second cousin, Lady Cowper, to Australia. Jane may have been a direct descendant of the Rev George Walker of the Battle of the Boyne, Ireland and of the Stanhope family of northern England. Could anyone suggest, please, the common ancestors (presumably great grandparents) for Jane and Lady Cowper. Thank you.
