John Francis Kitto and his wife Ann Clements were Alister's Great Great Great Grandparents on his paternal grandmother's side. John and several brothers emigrated to New Zealand as follows:
John
Kitto (1780, Cornwall,
England) married 17 February 1805 at Cornwall to Elizabeth
Teague (1776 - 1867).
John and Elizabeth Kitto were Alister's Great Great Great Great
Grandparents. They had a family including the following children:
Louisa
Kitto (1805 - 1867)
William
Kitto (1806 - )
James
Kitto (1808 - )
Edward
Teague Kitto (1814 - 1850)
Elizabeth
Jane Kitto (1816 - )
Henry
Richard Kitto (1820 - )
John
Kitto (1810) married Emma Gray (30 August 1812, Cornwall - 8 December
1879, Moa Flat, Central Otago, New Zealand) on 8 January 1832,
Cornwall, England.
(1)
John Francis Kitto (17
March 1832, East Newlyn, Cornwall, England - 1892, Dunedin). John
was the eldest son in the family. He first married Elizabeth
Ann Urion (1835, England
- 30 December 1853, England)on 15 October 1853. During their brief
marriage, they had one child:
1.
Edward Teague Kitto (13
December 1853 - 1854). Obviously Elizabeth died as a result of the
birth of her son, and the baby himself died soon after her death.
Following
Elizabeth's death married Ann
Clements (daughter of
William and
Ann Clements nee
Tetley)
(1834, Leicester, England - 17 August 1910, Orbell Street, North East
Valley, Dunedin) on 19 June 1854 at St Matthews Church, Walsell,
Staffordshire, England. John Kitto and Ann Clements Kitto were
Alister's Great Great Great Grandparents.
2.
James Kitto (9 April
1855, Walsall - 8 January 1860, England). Died aged just four years.
3.
Betsy Ann Kitto (17 June
1856, Walsall - 1927) married Joseph
Augustin Roggiero (1842,
Texas, USA - 29 May 1882, Millers Flat, Central Otago) on 21 June
1873 at Millers Flat, Central Otago.
3.1

(1875 - 1945) married
Martin McGrath in
1920

(1877) married Benjamin
Isador Thaw in 1897.

(1880 - 1943) married
Janet Rankin (1879
- 1918) in 1901. Following Janet's death, John married Violet
Louisa Cundy in 1922.
3.5
Joseph Frederick Roggiero
(1882 - 29 October 1959,
Sydney, Australia). Joseph was adjudged to be the father of an
illegitimate daughter with Alice
Jane Croawell on 5 March
1906 - Doris Wilhemina
Croawell was born in
1905. In 1907, Alice Croawell married Sydney
John Jenkins. I'm unsure
if this occurred before or after Doris' death that same year, at the
age of just two years. Poor Alice. She gave birth to a son, Sydney
Leo Cromwell Jenkins on 10 April 1908, and died that year (probably
due to the birth or consequences of it). She was only 22 years old.
Joseph was a Dredge Master in the Ovens Valley, Victoria, Australia and then a Master Plumber. He married Florence Anna Jackson (died 1980)(daughter of William and Eliza Jackson nee Wallace). They had at least one son:
3.5.1 Augustine Joseph Roggiero (1914 - 2004) who was a Master Plumber, in the RAAF and a newsagent. He married Ada May Phillips (1917 - 1996)(daughter
of William Heard and Dulcie Phillips nee Parnell) in New South Wales
in 1949.
Joseph
Roggiero was murdered by his father in law, John Kitto on 29 May
1882.
Following
Joseph's death, Betsy married William
Kirkpatrick (1860, Kelso,
Scotland - 1913) in 1889. Together, Betsy and William had the
following family of their own:
3.6

3.7
Frances Wilhemina
Kirkpatrick (9 January
1893 - 1979) married Henry

3.8
Annie Carson Kirkpatrick
(1896 - 1928) married
Gerard Michael O'Malley
(16 October 1893 - 1976)
in 1920. Gerard was a son of James Fleming and Elizabeth O'Malley of
Naseby, Otago (James had the Welcome Inn Hotel in Naseby around
1907), and was a Law Clerk prior to his service in WWI. I believe
that Gerard became a lawyer after his service and was appointed as a
Maori Land Court Judge in 1953. Gerard and Annie had at least one
son:
3.8.1
Michael James O'Malley (1921 - 17 December 1942) was killed in
action while serving as a wireless operator in air operations for the
RAF. He is buried in England.
Following
Annie's death in 1928, Gerard married Rita
Gwendoline Matthews in
1929. Sadly, she was killed in Wairoa, on 3 February 1931 as a result of the Napier earthquake when a tank fell on her. Rita was aged just 23 years.
Finally, Gerard married for the third time – to Grace
Louise Nash (13 October
1910 – 2000) in 1932.
3.9
Doris Winifred Kirkpatrick
(1898) married Joseph
Power O'Malley (29 March
1896 - 21 July 1976) in 1926. Joseph O'Malley served in WWI from
1917 and remained in the army until 1920, when he had to leave due to
no longer being physically fit due to an illness he contracted while
on active service. He was also a son of James Fleming and Elizabeth
O'Malley of Naseby, Otago (his elder brother Gerard married Doris's
elder sister Annie) and apparently worked, prior to the war, as a
dispensing chemist. His religion is recorded on his war records as
being Roman Catholic. Joseph also served in the Home Guard during
WWII.
