Misc. Notes
Information from Graeme Kenyon, whose great grandfather was James George Kenyon b.1861 whose second wife was Ada Oliver b.1864, daughter of Samuel Oliver b.1833.
Date of birth is recorded on the flyleaf of an old family bible which John Kenyon brought with him to New Zealand as a young man.
Graeme writes, “John and Thomas Kenyon arrived in New Plymouth in December 1855, via Auckland, on the ship Carnatic. John was single, Thomas [half-brother] had a wife in Halifax”.
“A year or so later the rest of the family arrived on the ship Euphemus.
The rest of the family being:
- the parents Joseph and Hannah,
- the sister Sarah Ann,
- Thomas’ wife Elizabeth Kenyon (nee Town)
- and her two boys James and John Town.
(It is not clear whether Thomas was actually the father of James and John, probably not, though after arrival in New Zealand they were known as James and John Kenyon)”.
