My maternal great grandparents. Charles Penney (1851-1917) and Jessie Penney(1866-1944). Charles was a Methodist minister. He remarried after his first wife passed away, not before they had 7 children. Charles and his second wife Jessie had 4 children, the eldest being Alfred, my mother's father, who was born in 1899. Sadly, although I was 14 months old, I do not remember him. He died suddenly in January 1955 from a brain hemorrhage. I do know that he was a bank manager with the Bank of New Zealand.
