Ruth and Florence Kingham
« on: Friday 24 October 14 10:27 BST (UK) »
Looking for any information on two Banardo girls who sailed on the Polynesian in 1885 to Quebec, Canada.
Ruth and Florence Kingham, father was David Kingham 1847-1890 from Hitchin, Herts. Mother was Caroline Cannon 1866-1931.
Ruth was born in 1873 so she was 13 when she left England and Florence was aged 6.
I have the passenger list for the Polynesian, but would like to know more of the Canada side.
My mother was a Barnes, so the Kingham, Barnes and Johnson family are closely related, in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
Any info appreciated.

Caroline b 1866 couldn't have been the birth mother of either girl  :) was she a stepmother maybe?

Thank you for all the replies. There was another marriage to David Kingham. As pointed out it was Jane Page 1845-1880. Caroline Cannon also married twice to a George Hawkins. They had a son also George born 1893.
I've just rechecked this and Jane Page was the mother of Ruth and Florence. As mentioned sorry about the wrong info.
