WILLIAM KENCH 1888 death in South Australia

MargaretSmith47 — 2010-10-27 15:24:37Z

a William KENCH died on 22 October 1888. This information came from Ancestry.com. England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations),1861-1941 "William KENCH of Westward Ho, South Australia, died 22 October 1888 Administration (Limited) in London on 23 June 1903 to Milton KENCH miller the attorney to Mary ROEDOE widow in Australia."

If this is my missing William KENCH, he was born in Dunchurch, Warwickshire, England in abt 1832 and I can't trace him after the 1851 UK census.

Does anyone know how I can trace anything more about him?

Thanks, Margaret

I have no connection to any of these families but wanted to post this. This is from the October 29, 1846 Lime Rock Gazette (Rockland, Maine) in the "Gazette Marine List - Port of East Thomaston"

"Sch. Active, of Castine, (mackereling) is supposed to have been lost with all on board, on Jewell's Island, below Portland, in the late gale. A letter has been received stating that part of a cable &c. with some empty barrels and small articles had been saved, no insurance: she was owned by Amos Smith and brother, who resides on Nautilus Island: Israel Rodman of Brookhaven was master. The following are the names of the seamen: Thos. Kench, Jno. Howard Jr., of Brookhaven, Russell Kench, William Kench, and Robt. Kench (boy)."

While searching my family I saw a John Douglass from Sedgwick who married a Dolly Kench from Sedgwick on May 28, 1794 in Blue Hill by Nicholas Holt, JP.

She is perhaps related to your Dolly.

I am looking for any info regarding William Kench or his wife Dolly (Unkown). He was born in Cutler, Maine, abt 1745 and died Sedgwick, Maine, in 1782. I don't know anything else about Dolly. Their son Thomas was in the Revolution and I am told that "Kench's Mountain" is named after him. Thanks. DavidVB

Unfortunately, at present I don't think I can help, but was wondering if you know where the name Kench originates from. I was born in Cressing, Braintree, but my father Kenneth was from Plaistow, London & my mother from Romford (Frost)
