Leslie Kelly 1906 - 1959

Kelly was a Maori amateur ethnologist with a strong interest in linking tradition and historical events to sites, and recording those sites. He authored a long series of articles in the Journal of the Polynesian Society mostly about particular pa.

He descended from Kenehuru, of Ngati Mahuta. In his private life he was as a railway worker, latterly a senior engine driver. Kelly met his death in a train smash at Motumaoho.

His book Marion Dufresne at the Bay of Islands (1951, A H and A W Reed, Wellington) strongly links archaeological sites to the historical narrative of that early European visit.
