New Zealand Completed Requests / Jonathan Bell - Rangiora, Canterbury
« on: Friday 13 October 06 20:16 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
I'm a new lister from England. Have come across a Jonathan Bell, christened 12 Aug 1832 in East Allington, Lincolnshire. I have an address for him, sometime in the 1850/60's, at Foston Farm, Rangiora, Canterbury NZ.
There is a family story that he became, or was, a watchmaker in New Zealand, probably about the 1850's, although I do not have an emigration year or any further information on him.
Does this 'ring a bell' with anyone?
(This a double hit, also on the KIWIGEN page, hope you don't mind)
Mike
