Hessie Foster Dill and William Archer Kennedy

Hessie Foster Dill was born in 1850. She was the fifth great-grandchild of Susanna West, and the last of those great-grandchildren to be born in Susanna's lifetime. She died in 1931. 

She married William Archer Kennedy on 7th September, 1871. 

According to The Dictionary of Ulster Biography, William was a factory manager in the linen industry, and the family lived on the Upper Shankhill Road in Belfast. Just after the birth of the youngest of their fifth children, William took the family to Poland to take up a post as manager of a linen factory. Hessie died of scarlet fever just months after they relocated and William sent whichever children were with them back to Ireland, to 3 Fisherwick Place in Belfast, there to live with their grandparents, Robert Foster Dill and Catherine Haughton Rentoul.

It should be borne in mind that by the time the First World War broke out, Belfast was the biggest producer of linen in the world.

The Linen Hall library where Thomas Russell worked, and later Reginald Blackwood laboriously compiled family trees of the Hadzors, Wests, and so many others, owes its name to the association of Belfast with linen.
