Thank you for comment. I have looked up the deaths for both James and Phillis Sloan. Can't believe I haven't done it earlier.

James' parents are Nathan Sloane and Janet McMorrin  spelling might not be right as hard to read

Phillis' parents are John Tait and Janet Murdoch

Thanks again

Hello Matt,
Thank you for the link for the Colvend Churchyard. I went to the churchyard in 2010 and saw the inscription but it does not tell me who the parents of James and Phillis were.

Are you able to give me any more information regarding this.

Hello Shirley,
No problems with the country I live in. I did not know that James and Phillis Sloan had a grocers store so thank you for that.
I do have those parents listed for each of them but what I want is the proof. Whered id you get the information from?

Other names which appear in my family are Lowden and Cumming which are also in the Murdoch family.

That is what we are trying to find out. The photo came from my collection originally and was taken in Kippford by the slipway.
Ann has the middle name Crosbie which is why I suspect she and SM Crosbie are related but so far there is no proof. Kippford being a small village the families often intermarried.
What I would really like to know is where Ann's parents James Sloan and Phillis Tait came from. I have not been able to find a marriage for them yet. All the children were born in the Colvend area.

Ann Sloan is my great great grandmother and she married Edward Howell. Ann died September 1899 and I am assuming the photo of her with S M Crosbie would have been taken within the ten years prior to her death as she looks a very old lady. She was born 1823 to James Sloan and Phillis Tait.
My mother was born in Kippford and is part of the Dickinson family. I have visited a few times over the last few years.  I live in New Zealand.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: BOWLES and GOLDSMITH of Waimate South

Hi Koromo,
I have been looking through my notes to see what I can find for you. Firstly to clarify the Ellen Nind who died in 1918. She is the wife of Joseph Nind, James' brother.
I have the date of your Ellen's death as 2 Nov 1937 but that may need to be checked. If correct it would make her a fair age.

James Nind worked at Messrs Manchester Bros & Goldsmith on arrival in Waimate in 1874. His wife Nellie was Mrs Goldsmiths sister and when James and Ellen married one of the witnesses was an AE Goldsmith. Ellen Blackmore's husband died on 24 July 1901.

The 1921 Wises directory lists a Mrs Ella Nind in Waimate.

I have found in the marriage indexes the following:
Ellen Elizabeth Ann Mayfied married 1887 to Joseph Henry GRAY. This looks like the daughter.

Cheers Carole

Hi Koromo,

Yes James Nind died on 28 Nov 1915 in Waimate, South Canterbury, NZ.  He was born 3 Jun 1842 in Brackley, Northamptonshire son of Caleb Nind and Elizabeth Evans.
His first wife was Mary Ann Jeacock and they had three children: Elizabeth, Joseph and Sarah. Mary Ann died in Nov 1871 and the two girls died in 1864 and 1872.
Emma was the second wife and she and James married in 1874 just before they left for New Zealand with James's son Joseph. James' brother Joseph and wife and their niece Emma and her husband Daniel Averis (my great grandparents) all came out on the ship "Ballochmyle"".

Emma Nind died in Sep 1904 and James married Ellen Day formerly Blackmore on 10 Jul 1905 in Waimate. James was 63 and Ellen 57. She died on 2 Nov 1937. Ellen's former husband died in July 1901 according to the marriage certificate.

Unfortunately I do not know anything else about Ellen Day. Do you know when she came to New Zealand? Perhaps she brought her daughter with her.
If you could give me some details I may be able to do a bit of checking for you.

Regards Carole
