Thanks Erato, 
That sure complicates things.    I figured that American and New Zealand authorities would have changed/simplified the name, but didn't know about maternal or paternal surnames.
I never thought this was going to be easy, but I sure didn't expect it to be so difficult.
I'll check out that web site, I might get lucky.

Well after reading all that information could Louisa Constancia really be her forename and surname?

Possible there are a couple in the IGI around that time.

will do a bit of digging

In all probability, Constancia is a forename, as is Inacio.

Here are some other possible sources of information:

Have you checked the films from LDS. They have church books from Faial.

IGI has lots of Portuguese Ennises and variants - mostly Ennes.  Some from the Azores.  It's easy to imagine that Joao Ennes could turn himself into John Ennis when he got to NZ.

Thanks again Erato, just what I need for a rainy long weekend. 
Peonie, I only have access to IGI on line. We don't have an LDS Family History group in Cairns any more. Can I find them on line? I'll go have a look, but I have no idea how to find them except via Family Search.

[Peonie]

Don't think they are on line, Leonie. Have you checked if the LDS Family History Group opened in another suburb - it has happened here.

Regards Peonie

Hi

You can order lds films through the Cairns and District Family History Group.

There's only one LDS church in Cairns Peonie. They were only ever open one evening a week and not well utilised. We're not a big city. 
Annie, I'm not financial with the Family History group at present, they're too expensive. And as they're also not upgrading their services to match their prices, I doubt I'll become financial any time soon.
I have heard rumours that the City library is negotiating with the LDS to order films, I'll wait and see. They offer all their services free, with only the cost that the LDS will charge for sending the films, which I think is still about $5.
I'm not in a hurry, I've been looking for John for about 20 years now, another few wont hurt. 
Meanwhile, I still have lots of web sites to search.
