Thomas Kennedy and Sophia Streeter

Question

By way of introducing myself, I am Max Kennedy, from New Zealand.  I am interested in relatives of Thomas Kennedy and Sophia Streeter, particularly Thomas Kennedy's siblings and descendants.

THOMAS KENNEDY was born in 1819 in Offaly, Ireland (or previously Kings County, Ireland). He died on 12 Jun 1881 in Halswell, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand (Waterford Farm. Death Certificate No 1881/3007). He married Sophia STREETER, daughter of Stephen STREETER and Elizabeth HIGHAM, on 28 Sep 1847 in Canterbury, New Zealand (Catholic Church, Akaroa, Banks Peninsular, by Father Comte). She was born on 09 Mar 1822 in East Farleigh, Kent, England (Cox Heath Work House, Hunton Parish). She died on 25 Dec 1906 in Kaponga, South Taranaki, Taranaki, New Zealand (Death Certificate No 1906/6446).

Thanks for any ideas or info.  I am happy to share what info
I have.

Answer 1

I do not descend from the Streeter family of Hunton, Kent but, as a past president of the Streeter Family Association, I recognize the family. To connect with others who share an interest in this family:

The SFA has other members from NZ and the Facebook page is hosted by the SFA's current president.

Good luck!
