Kellands from Devon Streets of Derbyshire

I found familytreecircles via a roundabout link looking for KELLAND's and found some New Zealand burials!
Definitely piqued my interest as I hadn't thought of New Zealand as somewhere for the KELLAND's! I haven't
examined much, but maybe something will turn up! My KELLAND family (I married into the Kelland family) come from Dartmouth, Devon, England. GG Grandfather FRANCIS ARTHUR KELLAND and his wife ANNIE JANE GILLARD emigrated to South Africa around 1883.

My paternal side are the STREET family and I know there's some in NZ or Aus, but I don't think they're mine! We lived in Matlock, Derbyshire, England and thereabouts. Much the same as my maternal side ASH, came from the same place.

The STREET & KELLAND met in South Africa (my parents & I emigrated from UK to SA) and now we've returned to UK
- well part of our family!

So,on my side: STREETs from Derbyshire; ASH's from Derbyshire; HAWLEY's from Derbyshire and others but all Derbyshire;
On my husband's side: KELLAND's from Dartmouth; CROSSLEY's from Lancashire; HOLESGROVE's from Chelsea, London and others.
