Hello, I am related to Frederick Kemp who you have notes on here. I am wondering if you have any other information about him. Also would you have any photo's either of him or his parents Mary & Daniel Kemp. Frederick is my Grandmothers Grandfather. Janette Ashford

by craigsm on 2011-11-19 11:17:38

Frederick Kemp 1846-1877
Frederick was born in England (probably Bunwell, Norfolk) in 1858. His parents were David (not Daniel) Kemp (1818-c.1866) and Mary Kemp (n?e Cooper, 1816-1878).
Frederick married Harriet (b.1847) and they had four children, Elijah (b.1868), Willie (b.1870), Harriet (b.1872) and another daughter (b.1874).
They emigrated to New Zealand in 1874 with his sister Lydia, brothers Edward and Elijah, and the members of the Loveday and Cooper families and settled in Woodville.
He owned the Belle View Hotel in Lower Hutt.
It appears Frederick died in New Zealand in 1877 at age 31 but tbc.
I have no photo of Frederick or his parents

Does anyone know of, or have connection with the family who helped alan loveday and who his mother and father were?

by jandel on 2012-09-03 03:23:37

I am a grandaughter of Grace Lydia Ingpen #4. I can give you information on all this family if you are interested.
Grace #9 was only named Grace according to Waipawa birth entry 15 June 1876.
Elizabeth #14 was named Elizabeth May (known as May) according to Woodville birth entry 23 Oct 1884. She died 15 January 1887 age 2 of convulsions according to Woddville death entry registered as May.
I have recently had contact with descendents of George #! and Emily #13.
Very happy to communicate with anyone about these families.
Regards Jan

In answer to lovelybuttuglysg:

The parents of retired violinist Alan LOVEDAY (29.02.1928-) were Leslie George Vivian LOVEDAY (1890-1955), who was also a violinist, and Margaret Elizabeth LOVEDAY (nee RICKARD, 11.04.1900-03.10.1983).

Alan is my mother's second cousin.

Some notes about Alan:
Professional violinist. Taught by his father. First public at age four. In 1937 impressed the Budapest String Quartet while on tour in NZ so they staged a benefit performace in Palmerston North to start a fund for him to continue his studies in England. Alan gave a farwell concert at the Palmerston North Opera House on 10 December 1938. The fund having reached 1500 pounds Alan left for London on 24 January 1939 to study the violin. Pupil of Albert Sammons, the acclaimed British violinist, who agreed to teach him for six months at no charge. Awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music under Sammons. Early concert performances included playing the Mendelssohn violin concerto at Worthing with Sammons conducting (a rare occurrence). ?Official? UK debut in 1946 at the People?s Palace. Played the Tchaikovsky violin concerto at a Promenade concert in 1946. Reviewed very positively in The Strad magazine. Performaces followed with Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under Sir Malcolm Sargent and the Halle Orchestra under John Barbarolli. Lived in Sussex. Played a Stradivarius purchased in 1953 for GBP 3000 from a wealthy amateur violinist who ?played it for about five minutes on Sundays?. In 1955 he was appointed Professor at the Royal College of Music. In 1960 formed a trio with guitarist John Williams and cellist Amarylis Fleming. A founder of the Steinitz Bach Players in 1968. Lead the Academy of St Martins in the Fields under Neville Marriner after Marriner swapped form leading to conducting in autumn 1970. Soloist on famous Decca recording of Vivaldi?s The Four Seasons recorded in one take in September 1969 at St John?s Church, Smith Square, London after the players visited a local pub. The success of that recording was instrumental in ASMF becoming the world?s most recorded chamber ensemble orchestra. Orchestra named after the church in Trafalgar Square that was the venue of its first performance on 13 November 1959. Also plays on ?Within you without you? on the Beatles? 1967 album ?Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band?. After retiring lived for some time in the Ivor Newton House care home in Bromley, Kent run by the Musicians Benevolent Fund until it closed in 2008. Chapter dedicated to Alan in Donald Brook?s 1948 book ?Violinists of Today?. Vivaldi recording featured in Norman LeBrecht?s 2007 book ?Maestros, Masterpieces and Madness?.

thankyou Craig for the above info.

I believe that Frederick Kemp 1846-1877 was born Ezekiel KEMP to David and Mary in 1846 in Norfolk and came to NZ as Frederick.
Frederick married Harriet (b.1847) in 1866 in London. Unfortunately I am unable to decipher her maiden name on the documents I have (Fredericks death, births of 2 chn and death of one child). They had two other children from those you mention. Elijah (b.1867/68 london, d.14 March 1879 at Waipawa NZ age 8 years of peritonitis), Willie (b.1869/70 London), Harriet (b.1871/72 London), Elizabeth Schiehallion (b.17 March 1874 at sea registered in Napier NZ, d.1876 NZ age 22 mths), David (b.12 Feb 1875 Waipukurau NZ) and James (b.1876 NZ).

Have you verified that he owned the Belle view Hotel in Lower Hutt? My information says his occupation was farm labourer and bricklayer from when he arrived in NZ until his death and has him living in Waipawa, Waipuurau and possibly Napier but not Wellington. I'm wondering if it was a different LOVEDAY.
Frederick died in New Zealand on 1 March 1877 at age 31 of peritonitis.

Is Alan LOVEDAY still living in London? I have been unable to locate death entries in NZ for either Les or Margaret and note you have dates for them. Am I correct in thinking Alan was their only child and that they emigrated to England with Alan therefore deaths would be there?

I Look forward to further comments from you all.

Her occupation was stated as nurse and her age 49 years (younger than actual as was common practice for single woman immigrants).

The KEMP family was split up by employment:
? Daniel (24) and Edward (16) were hired as labourers by CONDIE, a run-holder at Petane, just North of Napier. Daniel at ?52 a year and Edward at ?40 a year.

Can anyone tell me about Elizabeth Kemp b 1855, I have birth certs for 3 children, Ellen, Elizabeth & William Henry, all born to Elizabeth, no father named on any, but I believe it is a Samuel Burgess, a road overseer based around Kaikora/Waipawa areas at the time the Kemp family arrived in NZ. 1 child was born in Napier in 1880,the other 2 in Wellington in 1878 & 1882. They must have gone to Australia at some stage, as 1 daughter died there in 1889, the other 2 children and Samuel all returned to NZ, and records then showed their names as Burgess rather than Kemp. The daughter that died in Australia (Elizabeth), her death cert noted that her mother was already dead. This means that Elizabeth Kemp must have died between 1882 & 1889, does anyone have any info. I am also unable to find any marriage cert for her and Samuel. They would have been my husband's great grandparents. PLEASE!!!!!

I'm the grandson of Lily Rebecca Casey (nee Loveday) (1881-6 June 1951) and the 14th (of 15) child of James and Lydia Loveday.
Alan Loveday died within the last year or 2 in London. I thought I had kept the details but can't find them. Alan's parents were I believe, George Loveday (1862-26 Oct 1926) the 10th child of James and Lydia, and Bessie Donnie.
