Kinsella Crescent in the suburb of Aidanfield, Christchurch

Kinsella Crescent – Named after Sister St Canice “Anne” Kinsella (1911-1990). Sister Kinsella worked in New Zealand 1967- 1973. The street names in the Aidanfield subdivision are those of former Sisters of the Good Shepherd Order and former residents of the Good Shepherd Sisters’ Home at Halswell. Named in 2001.
Interesting information from library website and this street is probably named after this sister. There was also a Kinsella family that lived in Christchurch and there is a link to my ex-husband’s family. His grandfather had an affair with a Bessie Kinsella wife of Thomas Kinsella. They eventually married after a divorce in 1924.
Another street of fairly large houses and many had columns which seems to be a common feature in this area.
