Hi Gereon

I will email the COVENEY branch of the family with this information and see if Florence is one of theirs.
Will let you know.

Hi gereon

They called in on Sunday, but unfortunately didn't know of Florence.
It did however pique their interest because of the spelling with 2 "e"s and that they were in Wellington.

Thomas COVENEY came to NZ in 1875, but they don't know why.
Florence's family were already here, so they could well be related......?

I'll let you know if they come up with anything.

Hi be interested in all Harris buried in Martinborough, just had breakthrough on origins of Sophia Harris, not born Terling, born Battle, Sussex, this find ties in Hutchinson connection with the harris family in Taita, and also the most likely connection for Abraham and Sophia to be "first" cousins.
