christine liava'a Posted 27 October , 2003 Share Posted 27 October , 2003 that one of his parents came from NZ Not at all! Highly unlikely, more likely that he was an individual immigrant. I can't find any mention of him in the NZCD3, and don't be fooled by the Otago Regiment. He could easily have been from Auckland, many Aucklanders were sent to the Otago Regiment Not sure if this is the right family or place, as I don't know the area. He could be Tom aged 1 1881 Census Dwelling: Nr Rettendon Common Census Place: East Hanningfield, Essex, England Source: FHL Film 1341424 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 1760 Folio 65 Page 11 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Peter KEELING M 34 M Stock, Essex, England Rel: Head Occ: Brickmkr Mary A.
