- ↑ Notes from a family historian:
"William and Maria Kendall arrived at the Port of Auckland from the Cape of Good Hope on 22 January 1865. Little is known of Williams origins but family tradition has it that he came from Nottingham, where the family was engaged in the Lace trade. New information to hand however, indicates that William may in fact have been born in Kensington-upon Hull, Leeds, Yorkshire. His date of birth is not known but is thought to have been around 1825 - 1830.
Maria was born on 15 Jan 1825 at St Helena, a small Island in the mid Atlantic where Napoleon died in exile. She was the daughter of Thomas Mittens and Margaret Thomas, freed slaves. Details of William and Maria's marriage and the birth of their two eldest children, Charlotte and Tom are not known. However in 1854 the family were known to be living at Paarl, a small village approximately 10 miles from Capetown, South Africa, where William was a Constable.
In 1865 the family emigrated to New Zealand on the 'Eveline', and settled in Onehunga, living in Church Street. William died on 29 May 1875 and Maria on 23 Feb 1877. They are both buried in the churchyard of St Peter's Anglican Church at Onehunga.
Charlotte married James Cutter in 1865 and lived in Australia; Tom married Jane Wright and lived in the Raglan area; George married Neta Paparangi in 1876 and lived at Mitimiti in the Hokianga; William married Edith Clark in 1877 and lived in the Thames and Penrose areas; Sarah married Thomas Waddell in 1874 and died (presumably in childbirth) in 1875 - she is buried at Onehunga. Maria (born in 1860) is thought to have died before the family left South Africa; Mary married Walter Vaughan in 1880 and lived in the Nelson and Auckland regions; James married Mary Murdoch in 1888 and spent much of his time at sea;Charles Henry is also believed to have died in infancy; while Arthur never married, spending much of his life upon the Gum fields.
