Date formats and other data: Colony and Protectorate of Kenya passport (1960) vs Kenya Republic passport (1975)

These aren’t the documents referenced in my most recent report (I’ve recently acquired some documents in Kenya which are dated from the 1950s thru 1960s). However, I’d like to share these first.

Please also note that I do not own the documents presented within the present report.  Links to to both Kenyan passports will be provided somewhere below.

Please take note of the date format: FEB 15 1960 (MONTH DAY YEAR) which can be seen through the front cover of the Colony and Protectorate of Kenya, British Passport.

This passport belonged to a man by the name of Vincent Abukuse Mbirika.

Apparently he worked as clerk (although I’ve read elsewhere that he was a professor). According  to his British Passport (Colony and Protectorate of Kenya) he was born in Bunyore, Kenya.  Date of birth is listed at 15 5 1935 (DAY MONTH YEAR).

Evidently the passport was valid for travel in France, United States of America, Canada, India, Nigeria, Belgian Congo, Belgium, Zanzibar and Kenya.

Issued at: NAIROBI, date: FEB 15 1960 (MONTH DAY YEAR). The validity of this passport expires: FEB 14 1965 (MONTH DAY YEAR).

Passport no. 99020. Name of bearer: Mr. Vincent Elyidardy Abukuse Mbirika.  National Status: British Subject Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies.

This second passport, from the Republic of Kenya belonged to a man by the name of Samwel Kingoo Nwanza.

Just a reminder (as mentioned previously, near the head of this report) I do not own either of these Kenyan documents.  Links to both passports will be provided somewhere below.

Please take note that this second passport was issued in 1975.

A few additional pictures, and notes regarding data found within, are provided below.

Apparently he worked as a businessman. According  to his Kenyan Passport (Republic of Kenya) he was born in Machakos, Kenya.  Date of birth is listed at 20 3 1945 (DAY MONTH YEAR).

Issued at: NAIROBI, KENYA date: 30 OCT 1975 (DAY MONTH YEAR). The validity of this passport expires: 29 OCT 1980 (DAY MONTH YEAR).

Moreover, please take note that this passport was renewed and became valid until 29 OCT 1985 (DAY MONTH YEAR).  A new passport was not issued, but rather the validity of the original document was extended for another five (5) years.

Passport no. 039059. Name of bearer: Mr. Samwel Kingoo Nwanza.  National Status: Citizen of Kenya.

We’ll make better use of the foregoing trove of exceptionally valuable, intriguing and gripping data when reviewing upcoming documentation which specifically places Ann Dunham and her son Barack Obama in Kenya in 1961.
