Hi All
My Ancestry sub has expired and I don't want to renew because I'm visiting England.
I'm trying to help a friend
Her relative is born 1858 Westerham. Kent. I found her the census etc but he disappears after 1881.He emigrated to NZ but my friend thinks he went to Australia first

Can anyone help to find his ships details
Thanks

There is a George Kennard in Australia but he is George Edward and the roll info overlaps with your George being in New Zealand

Hi Everyone
Sorry I'm so late getting back. My son and daughter inlaw returned from Mexico after 6 months and are with me
Those details are great. George is the Harness Maker and he did marry Alice Viggers
I'm seeing my friend next week so will give her the details
She will be thrilled
We are meeting at the library so I will be able to show her FMP etc

Thanks once again
