Death Location Cassillis House, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland Dunmore, Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland

The date and place of birth locked in for the second Lord Kennedy is nonsense. This information cannot be identified from surviving record evidence. According to the Scots Peerage, his parents were married in about 1440, and it might reasonably be supposed that he cannot have been born earlier that this. I would suggest that the birth date and place fields be cleared and locked blank in order to prevent further unhelpful speculation.

John, second Lord Kennedy, appears still to have been alive on 24 July 1508, but he died before 23 May 1509. His place of death is not known. I would suggest that his death date field should be cleared and the date "before 23 May 1509" be locked in. The place of his death is not known and I would suggest that death place field should be cleared and re-locked blank in order to prevent further unhelpful speculation.
