1. Thomas Clive TARRANT born 1884 New Zealand, parents: Kate & Patrick, died aged 9 months in 1885.

2. Mary Helen TARRANT born 1885 New Zealand, parents: Kate & Patrick. It's possible that she married William Leonard STEPHENSON in 1905 (even though record says 'Mary Ellen' sic. Here's a death record in 1966 for Mary Helen AKA Nellie STEPHENSON aged 80 years.

5. Charles Richard Bruce TARRANT born 1891 New Zealand, parents: Kate & Patrick. Cannot find a marriage record up to searchable year of 1929. I can find a death record in 1918 for Charles Richard TARRANT, age is 'NR' not recorded. Perhaps he died in the war, or the great influenza epidemic?
