Narrative and Notes

There is a MyHeritage page belonging to Bonnie HAAS linking Moses "Hully" KENDALL to a marriage to Margaret BENDER on 4 Jul 1908 and 7 children born in Illinois in the 1910s. The narrative has his wife dying in 1918 and him resurfacing in Kendal in 1961 (although we know that he was in Kendal in 1939.)

A Mr M KENDALL did sail from Liverpool for New York on the (ill-fated) Lusitania on 4 Apr 1908, so a marriage on 4 Jul 1908 (given in the above page but not corroborated elsewhere) and children in 1910 is theoretically possible. It is extremely questionable though that he would leave his 5 young children upon the death of his wife in 1918 and return to Kendal to be a cowkeeper (as seen in 1939).

If this was correct then you would expect Moses and Margaret to appear in the 1910 Census, but instead there is a William M KENDALL, 28, an Englishman who emigrated in 1898, married to Margaret. He is a driver for a milk company.

My strong suspicion is that the researcher has gone wrong. But I will look into William M KENDALL who might be in some way related and which might explain the DNA link.
