Simon Stockley Kennard
Born and Baptised in Kingsdown, Kent, the fifth of ten children of William & Emily Kennard, Simon was married six months before his 30th Birthday to Mary Ann Pink at Rodmersham and their first three children were born in Kent. The family then packed up and moved to the other side of the world in the search of better opportunities. Five more children were born in their adopted homeland in New Zealand, including a set of twins in 1883. Simon worked as a Labourer in the Waianiwa district of Southland and the family grew and prospered. Simon lived to a ripe old age at eighty one years and died in June 1920 while Mary Ann survived him by more than two years. Both were buried in Wallacetown.
Children of Simon and Mary Ann Kennard were William Pink 1870-1937, Thomas John 1872-1936, Harriet Frances Amelia 1874-1942, Mary Ann 1879-1949, James Edward Tait 1881-1963, Charles Walter Humphrey 1883-1971, Laura Jane Mary 1883-1965 and Albert Frederick 1885-1964.
