Brilliant site, thanks for the link. I managed to stumble upon relatives in New Zealand and I thought I had them all. On this site though I have found a person who I am positive must have been a relative of mine and I don't know anything about her. Without the next of kin though I can't tell. This could just have opened up a new branch.

Cheers

Follow up. I've struck gold on this site, via SP.

I had a search for anyone called "Marr" on the cemetry section and was intrigued to find a "Mary Drummond Marr". The reason being is that I have a Hugh Marr married to a Mary Drummond in my tree. From the entry I was able to see that she was born in Scotland around 1867 so I searched SP.

Strangely I found two children of the same name born in 1866. One turned out to be the daughter of a relative I knew about but I never knew about the child- bingo! Even better though was the other one. She turned out to be the daughter of a Thomas Marr and Margaret Arbuckle. The only Thomas I knew of was dead as far as I knew. I managed to get her parent's marriage certificate and it turns out his parents were indeed Hugh Marr and Mary Drummond. What a find!

So Thomas never died when I thought he did. At first I was not sure which Mary Drummond Marr had emigrated to NZ though. That was until I found a Thomas Marr on the Dundedin site who's estimated birth year was 1836 and born in Scotland- a match for my "dead" Thomas.

It's been a good start to the day. Thank you once again.

Thank you, Stephan, I now know when my Uncle Bertie died. None of my living relatives could remember and we've lost touch with the other uncle, his brother, who went to NZ a couple of years after he did. $\:D/$

Sorry folks haven't a clue where in Scotland Margaret McKay was born.
She came to Otago New Zealand c 1868. Can't find my notes amongst the collosal heap of filing I need to cateragise. Details are on my newly established forum at : ancestralsearch.proboards101.com/index.cgi?

Please if you have knowledge...would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you......Dianne (Di)

Hi Dianne,
That link only gives me a login page and I can't proceed without logging in. Perhaps it's best if you start a new topic about Margaret, with her details and what you would like to find out. Otherwise your query may get lost at the end of this other thread.

All the best,
Sarah
