Henry Kidd of County Armagh, immigrated to Scotland, then New Zealand
I am searching for information on the Kidd family. Henry Kidd was born in County Armagh, Ireland in 1838, and older members of our family say he moved to Scotland during the potato famine. I believe Henry immigrated to Dunedin, New Zealand, on the Forfarshire in 1879. He died in 1923 at the age of 85. Henry married Christina DONALD in Scotland.Their children included Samuel, Elizabeth, Harry, Guy, Peter and Robert.His son, Samuel Kidd was born in 1870 in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and died in 1929 in Waimate, New Zealand. He was a police constable. His wife's name was Ellen HUNT, born 1875 in Yorkshire, died 1966. I am interested in any information anyone might have on the Kidd family, as well as talking to any of their descendents. My e-mail address is [email protected].
