Kind regards

Family History Beginners Board / ASHTON - Kent, England
« on: Thursday 27 April 17 16:36 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace George Ashton

Born between 17 March 1818 - 16 March 1819 in Kent , England.  He died aged 76 on 16 March 1895 at age 76 - Christchurch, New Zealand.

His death certificate lists Kent, England as place of birth but does not provide a birth date, or his parents names.

I know he first came out to Australia on a Whaling Ship (as a Sea Merchant - mariner) 'Sussex' Barge in 1849ish, and by September 1850 he was employed by the Canterbury Association to help survey and set up Canterbury for the first settlers fleets. He lived in Little Akaloa, NZ for many years farming and married Charlotte Brucey Wisdom (the Widow of John Bennett, pioneer of NZ).

Any insight on how I can find the link back to Kent, Uk would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dani
