Looking for Amon Family/History. Sam was Born in about 1843 in Kent and died in New Zealand 1934. He had a daughter Nellie (told she was born 1872 but suspect 1875) who married Fredrick William Nickel.
Hi Kiwibob at a guess you live in NZ. I see on the board several people inquiring about the Amon family, of which I have well over a hundred pages back to around early c1645, my connection is through Nellie Amon that you have mentioned she is my Grand mother born in Brabourne Kent, and yes, you are right she was born 03/03/1875. died 26/01/1956 Alton Patea New Zealand, Alton is where I lived most of my life well 65 years anyway.
The birth of Samuel Amon, Nellie Nickel's nee (Amon) father is conjecture at best some Doco's have and family bible have 20/05/1947, but headstone states 90 yrs. at death 04/09/1935 (take your pick) he was born in Smeeth East Ashford twice married 1st Jane Ralph then Martha Jane Revell, he migrated with Martha Revell and Harriet (from 1st wife Jane), and Harry, Nellie (my Grandmother) & Samuel Willis Amon arriving NZ 18/04/1879.
I would need some way of sending printouts, but the site here don't like email address added to messages, there is to much details to send this way, but I do note other members do have half the information or a fair amount of mistakes in their replies I also notice your Grandmother is a sister to my Grandmother, Also noted that a quote from another member says our Amons are related to the Amons from Bulls Wanganui-Manawatu Chris Amon which as far as I know is not true, I and others have never found any prove and Chris also says there is no connection, but though I myself am a very very distant relation through Ruby Nickel a cousin of my mother who married into a family from relations of Chris.
Kind regards Wandering Willie
