James Jenkin was in New Zealand during the 1880's. He had been a Methodist Local Preacher in the St Day PM Circuit before he came to NZ, probably about 1880. He first appears here as a travelling agent for the British and Foreign Bible Society in the Manawatu region in early 1883. He then was employed as a Circuit Missionary for the Primitive Methodists at Feilding from 1883 till late 1885. On 16th October of that year he married Caroline Morris in Auckland - she died aged 22 in late 1887. He then disappears from the records - and may well have returned to the UK.
Am searching for his family background - date and place of birth, and information aboyut his parents.
