ngairedith on Family Tree Circles

Two sons of James and Sarah (nee WHitehead) Stent - both died in Australia but I have no death dates and no spouses for them, nor do I know where in Australia. Maybe you have heard of them.

Stanley was married to Emma Stent - a daughter of James and Sarah Stent b.1900 - they were living in New Zealand but doesn't mean he was born there

This year in the UK alone - people will spend 320 million UK dollars on Easter eggs

This equates to (roughly)

... 5.26 UK pounds per person in the UK
... 34.60 AU dollars per person in Australia
... 2.10 US dollars per person in the USA
... 19.45 Canadian dollars per person in Canada
...194.00 NZ dollars per person in New Zealand

. . and I didn't even have one this year :(

It would be interesting to find out more about these two.

Louisa Lynd married Charles McINYRE in 1897 and they had 10 children
- Charles was born in 1872 in Drury, South Auckland. He died in 1941 in Wanganui
- Louisa died aged 62 in 1934 in Ohingaiti, Rangitikei

Her twin, Thomas Lynd married Eleanor PEARSON in Waitotara, south Taranaki in 1896
- I have 6 children for them at this time
- Thomas died aged 87 in 1960 in Feilding


Their parents were Emma JACKSON (1855-1927, daughter of whaler James Hayter Jackson & Eliza ROIL) and her 1st husband John LYND

Emma's second husband was Charles STENT
- Chalres was a son of Charles STENT & Sarah PECK

... message from Malcolm on 22 Feb 2011: Emma Jackson married John Lynds and gave birth to four of his children - the fourth was born after meeting Charles Stent as she arrived at Foxton from Picton heavily pregant. Charles registered Harry Herbert as a STENT rather than his conception name LYNDS. Then living with Charles in his small cabin they had another 10 children before they were married much to her daughters discust!! The children slept up in the ceiling of the cabin. Emma is buried with her second husband Charles at Ohingaiti Cemetery

I have one BEAR on my family tree - his name is George and he was born in Timaru NZ in 1875 and married Jessie Sutherland.
Can you add more to that?

I have changed the previous link that was posted here

It was once an excellent site but on a recent check it had 39 broken links and 12 moved sites, my emails went unheeded...
