Kent / Re: Streeter Family Kent

  I was interested to pursue Sarah Rendall, the sister of Keziah Streeter, nee Rendall, because she witnessed the wedding on March 24 1837. I found a marriage for a Sarah Rendell to William Amos in 1843, certificate Canterbury 5  83  1843(March); luckily there was one tree on Ancestry, viz. "The Big Kent Tree" which had William Amos, and that simplified my search, but the link to Keziah was not on it. So William and Mary had two children:- William Randall Amos (1845) and Catherine Ann Amos (1846), but in the 1851 census they were being looked after by their aunt Frances Jordan, the sister of William. Neither Sarah nor William Sr. are in the 1851 census, though a William Amos aged 59 (should be 39) was lodging in Canterbury, a widower, so Sarah had probably died, but there is no certificate (and I tried a general scan of all death certificates in Canterbury from 1846 to 1851). William Amos appears again in 1861 re-married to Eliza Cullen, nee Ansley (1821-1870) with her child Sarah Ann Cullen (1850).
  For the children they are in the 1861 census, and William is next door to his adoptive parents; Catherine is a domestic nearby. After that William may have moved to Minster, Thanet, and stayed a bachelor, dieing in 1906, but he never used the "Randall" again, making identification dicey. Catherine Ann disappears from the record, and is not on any tree on Ancestry, so I'm stuck. Did she go to New Zealand ??
  At least we have a scenario for Keziah's sister; I have ordered Sarah's marriage certificate to confirm her father.
Regards
David.

  The Millard family on Ancestry has Lucetta Ann Millard (1872) dieing in 1907; the others are agree. Worth checking out Lucetta.

  As Sarah Mercy Streeter was about 10 years old when she left England, she must have married in New Zealand. Sarah's mother was Keziah Streeter, nee Rendall, and her mother was Mary Measday.
  If anyone in this chain in interested in Thomas Rendall (c1778-1826) and especially Mary Measday (1780), I have her parents and siblings on my tree on RootsWeb, see http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
and enter   measday  in the database box
  Her father was Thomas Measday (1757-1825), her mother was Susannah Spaine (1759-1834), and her brother was Thomas Measday (1783-1855), my 3g grandfather.
  I have not yet entered the Streeter family in this tree, but will do it soon when I have digested all this information in this chain !!
Best wishes
David Measday.
