Greenup descendants

[megdavis2411]

I am trying to trace descendants of Dr Richard Greenup who migrated to Australia in 1850. His great great granddaughter, Elizabeth Ella Kennan lived in NZ and had Gillian and Peter Perry  (I think). Gillian married James Fergusson Thomas and they had 3 daughters. Elizabeth died in 1985. There is a family reunion in Queensland in October this year to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Richard's death. Richard's youngest brother, Francis's son, Francis Benjamin, also emigrated to NZ. He married Jane Brown and had 8 children. I would love to hear from anyone who can help. Cheers, Meg Davis, Brisbane

Thank you. If you are able to look up Elizabeth Kennan's death notice, that would be great. if Peter Perry Kennan is her son, he may have died in 2008 with a notice in the Gisborne herald. I have emailed them a month ago but the silence is deafening. The Death for Fergusson is not part of my search. Gillian Kennan married James Thomas. Fergusson is his middle name, but thank you anyway.

Hi Meg,

Do you need any information on the children of Jane & Francis Benjamin Greenup?
