The Jenkins Family
In 1889 William and Frances Jenkins emigrated to New Zealand, sailing aboard the Rimutaka from the Albert Docks, London to Wellington, bringing with them several children.
This grainy photo shows them at the family home in Tinakori Road, Wellington, probably in 1912. Their son Jack is lying on the rug at the feet of Frances and William.
