Gaye,
Jamjar means they had a Robert born in 1849 who died in 1850
Then they had a set of twins in 1852, one of whom they named Robert

This is the journal from the other thread - I did not know there were 2 threads going  ;)
It is the family of JOSEPH COLQUHOUN, his parents, siblings and his wives and how they all intertwine with the other people Gaye was looking for, Charles Alfred Dixon who fathered 5 children with her grandmother Adelaide Leslie Bowyer while he was fathering 9 children with his wife Alice Beatrice Choat and after the death of Charles Dixon, her grandmother Adelaide married Joseph Colquhoun, as his 2nd wife, before Joseph had divorced his 1st wife Ada Rosina Bishop

enjoy Charles Dixon + Alice Choat + Adelaide Bowyer + Joseph Colquhoun + Ada Bishop

aghadowey,
so Maria married in Manorcunningham 3rd April 1879 as a minor
Her parents and siblings left for kiwi on 29 May 1879

At least it puts Maria and some family in Manorcunningham and the dates are good. She may have traveled over on the same ship. I'm sure you are well aware how inaccurate (online/newspaper) shipping lists are. Just because she and hubby weren't mentioned doesn't mean to say she wasn't on it. Or they traveled later.

Two things are factual. She married over there and she married over here. Just have to find out what happened in the middle  ;D (why she married in maiden name)

gee, that sounds very like her doesn't it?
The marriage had to have broken down though because she married as Colquhoun. Her husband Timothy Manners was from Londonderry, Northern Ireland. MAYBE, they met and wooed over there then came over to NZ before 1883 to marry with her family around ??

Thanks for finding that (& other stuff)  ;D

She may have been actually. I was thinking that last night because she is missing from the passenger list. It would have been a young marriage and she was in NZ by 1883, earlier if she had to meet and marry someone in NZ by then   :).  Other possibility is she met him over there or on board the ship over and married in NZ.
I haven't done an extensive research on Joseph's siblings as yet. Concentrating on him and his wives etc  ;)
This is what I have on her ..
1862 - 1934 Maria Louisa 'Mollie' Colquhoun
Married Timothy Manners (1857-1930) in 1883 & had 11 children
Timothy worked for the Railways. They lived for a time in Westport.
Timothy died in a private hospital in Newtown, Wellington aged 73 and is buried Karori
Maria died in Newton, Auckland and is buried Waikumete
