My great grandfather was John quill born around 1878 John is a family name so he could be related to your John potentially. His parents are from co kerry.
Patrick Joseph Quill b 1854 and Mary Summers b 1849 and Patrick's father was Thomas Quill
Both Patrick and Mary died in new zealand

What fabulous photos!  Thank you so much for sharing.  I do have a couple of questions though....

1. Where does Fanny Stephenson fit in?
2. Where does Katie Dickenson fit in?

Thanks again

Hi Fjhs,

Welcome. I am also in NZ but I have deferred responding as I knew Bryan was likely to make contact, which he has, being a direct descendant of William Layton Stephenson and he can update you on his family connections here.  Williams parentage and wider family connections are well covered in this forum, so you will find this of interest I am sure.

I can tell you that Frances Newton's parents were William Newton (a Blacksmith) b Abt 1819 and Frances Plettes b Abt 1817. They were married 1838 in Durham.

In 1871 they were living at 28 Commercial St Crook Durham with children Frances age 14 & John Thomas Newton age 19.

In addition they also had a Mary J Newton b Abt 1844 & Sarah A Newton b Abt 1854.

Frances married William 13-5-1877 at St Ann's Church St Andrew Auckland Durham with her brother John being a witness.

In addition to their children you refer to as being born in NZ they also had a son Harry Newton Stephenson b Abt 1878 Newcastle England. He and his parents sailed from England on the 1-11-1878 and arrived NZ 18-1-1879 on the ship Waikato.

Regards

Ian
