Courtney William Alymer Thomas Kenny[a] (25 December 1835 – 12 December 1905) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament from the Marlborough Region, New Zealand.

Courtenay and his wife (Georgina Paulina Edith Kenny, 1835–1899[1]) are reported to have arrived in Port Nicholson on the Philip Laing on 23 December 1856[2] and to have established and named the Lochmara Run in Queen Charlotte Sound, centred on Double Cove and what was to become Lochmara Bay in 1857.[3] They later farmed ‘The Rocks’ in Double Cove, until their deaths.[4]

Courtenay Kenny is reported to have been born in India, probably Moulmein (now in Burma), to an Indian army officer.[5] His wife was born in Geilston, Dumbarton, Scotland, also to an Indian army father.[6] Both were educated in England.[7]

Kenny, having risen from ensign[8] to captain[9] in the 88th (Connaught Rangers) Regiment of Foot, served in Crimea and then exchanged to the 94th (Scotch) Regiment.[10] He was founding Captain of the Marlborough Volunteers 1860–61[11] and Marlborough Commissioner of Crown Lands 1862–66,[12] then represented the Picton electorate from an 1868 by-election till 1881, when he retired.[13] He was appointed to the New Zealand Legislative Council on 15 May 1885 and served until his death on 12 December 1905.[14]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ His name is spelt 'Courtenay' in his 1856 Scottish marriage (494/00010) and New Zealand death (1905/7708) registrations. He used also the spelling ‘Courtney’, such as in an 1868 mortgage to the NZ Trust and Loan Company.
