Margaret Millar Clyma is recorded in the Kennard family book "With Those Who Came First" (Beryl Maultby, second edition printed by Progress Print Dunedin, 1990). In the 1890's Margaret was running a restaurant in Princes Street, Dunedin. She then became the proprietor of the Sussex Private Hotel in George St, Dunedin. Robert Kennard was the hotel's manager.

By 1911 Robert and Margaret had shifted to Wellington. It is possible Margaret was running a boarding house. Robert and Margaret were married at the Registry Office in Wellington on 4 December 1912.

Robert took up beekeeping in Trentham after World War I. It is not clear from the book whether Margaret continued to run her own business during this time. She and Robert later lived at Main Road, Paraparaumu where Margaret died on 25 March 1925.
