| 11 | can I put it on another site for you? I can remember years ago, about 20! I was called up to Masterton to view a photograph album and could I find the rightful owner, didn't take me long with help off the computer etc... it was found in the wall off a house... to do with a Scottish family, the person who wanted my help was a reporter for NZ Herald.. think from memory it was to do with a Cameron family... but what a great find.... good luck another super sleuth! neich - 2019-03-30 19:12:00 |
| 12 | someone has come up with different spellings to the names of the family... have it on NZ Rootsweb site.. anything to get help find rightful owners... but they are querying the fathers name.. also James had August for the second name... neich - 2019-03-30 20:51:00 |
| 13 | one of the names as Mc Kinnon with it.. William Alexander Mc Kinnon... mother died 1939? neich - 2019-03-30 20:55:00 |

Peter Samuel Lawson Hello Linda My email address is ( I cannot show this as it is trademe's rules)....The names from the Bible match some of the people in my tree. My connection to them is a little removed but I am in contact with my Mother's Cousin's Daughter who lives in Hamilton. Breifly: Mary Jane Boyd 1839 - 1914, Mother of Williamina Alexandrina Minnie Andrew (1862 - 1939) who was born onboard ship en route to NZ, who married Peter Samuel Lawson. Her brother Robert Boyd married Isabella Gordon Miller, their child, Grace married my Great Uncle John Rees Williams. I am in touch with their Grand Daughter Bronwen. Thank you for reaching out. As an interesting aside, my cousin currently lives on Boyd Avenue, Mangere Bridge, Auckland. You have a few more names than I have so I'll spend some time and search and add the extras. kind regards Joanne Archer Edited by crab2 at 5:14 pm, Sat 6 Apr crab2 - 2019-04-06 17:06:00 |
