John's parents were George Mintrom and Mary Turner who were married on September 21st 1823. John married Mary Anne Haylock (born 12th April 1835, died 19th August 1925) on 31st March 1858.

RASENDAE family:
The Rasendae family (changed to Rosendale) settled in Templeton, near Christchurch.  Nils Hansen Rosendale (b 1829 in Denmark) and his wife Louise Mathilde Rosendale nee Mason (b1833 in Denmark) had five children.  Their youngest daughter Laurine died soon after arriving in New Zealand.  Both of their sons (Hans Theodore b 1861 and Johan Laurentz b 1863) apparently moved in Chrsitchurch and entered business in adulthood, but I have not traced them.   Their eldest daughter Madsin b 1859 apparently married another Danish settler named Hansen.  Their youngest surviving daughter, Anne Christina b 1867 married Christian Jorgensen Sonne in 1891; their daughter Laurina Adelaide Sonne was my great grandmother.
