There is a place, Zennor, in Cornwall.
Have you looked on 1881 census for possibles for him (free to search)

Hi
There are 4 registrations for the birth of a William Bone at the right period, although one dies as a baby.
Births Mar 1876 BONE William James Tavistock 5b 378
Births Sep 1876 Bone William Penzance 5c 265
Births Mar 1877 BONE William John Penzance 5c 297
Births Jun 1877 Bone William Camelford 5c 12
Deaths Jun 1877 Bone William 0 Camelford 5c 7
The 1881 census shows 3 boys of the right age which fit with the registrations.
What else do you know about William? Do you know when he arrived in New Zealand as this might help identify the correct one.

plus a slightly older William (age 7) from Sennen - could that be your Tenor?
-
Yes that is definitely a possibility Liz.
Looks like he is married and living in Greenwich in 1901.
Will hold on this now until we get some more information :)

William Bone b abt 1878 cornwall

Hi, I have just come across this post. I have William Bone and Lily Vincent in my family tree. I live in New Zealand. If you are still researching this connection private message me and I will give you my email address. Perhaps I can help with the NZ family if you need it?
