Hi, hector Alexander & Sarah Simpkins were my GG grand parents. They emigrated to New Zealand with their children and Margaret was my great grand mother. She married Richard William Coxon in Dunedin. My 88 year old aunt remembers her and can tell you what she was like. I've heard she was quite strict and he was the softie. I've also got a photo of her. Just found John Alexander, her elder brother in the NZ archives. He served in the NZ forces and drowned at Gallipoli. And the NZ records show McQuarrie is the surname.
