Kenneth Cleal

Kenneth, the second child, was born on 11th April 1868, and was probably named after Johannah's brother. Kenneth married Ella Leason Rose in February 1892 and together they had 9 children: Kenneth Franklin ( Tib. b. 1892), Ernest Clive (b. 1894), Archibald Emanuel (b.1896), Gwydir Roy (b.1898), Joshua Winton (b. 1900), Ivy Olive (b. 1903), Hubert Stanley (b.1906), Eric Harvey (b. 1909) Ronald Geoffrey (b. 1911).  As Kenneth had so many sons, and his sons had sons, Kenneth has many descendants!  In fact Kenneth and Ella had 53 grandchildren (the oldest grandchild still alive is Len Cleal, 91, of Goondawindi).

All of the children were born in the Warialda area, as Kenneth stayed there when the rest of the family moved to Sydney, and even one most Cleals in northern NSW and southern Queensland are descendants of Kenneth and Ella.

These photos of Kenneth and Ella were taken in the 1930s.  Kenneth died in Warialda in 1935 and Ella died in 1955 in Sydney.
