Hi, Sharon
I am researching this family of BENNINGTON who arrived in Lyttelton on the "Randolph" in 1850 - one of the first four ships to come to Canterbury. My connection is the Esther, youngest daughter of John and Ann who was born in Lyttelton on 20 August 1859. She was married twice and my husband is descended from her second marriage, to James MAJOR in 1895 who was 16 years her junior. They had three daughters, Ivy Gertrude b 1896, Cecilai Henrietta b 1899 and Emmeline Helen (Nell) b 1902.
In 1988 we held a reunion at Kaiapoi, north of Christchurch and over 200 decsendants came.
I look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Iris Taylor
