Than you for the reply Karen,
A brief history;
Me ->
P McPhie (nee Gillies) (Mum) ->
Cecil Gillies (G) b 1902 ->
Henry McFarlane Gillies (GG) b 1868 ->
Jane Thomson Gillies (GGA) b 1861 m 3 Oct 1884 Woodend NZ John Waldie b 1854
+ 7 other siblings
Alexander McBride Gillies (GGG) b 1835. m 1860 Mary McFarlane
Alexander Gillies (GGGG) b circa 1801 m Mary Duncan
Daniel Gillies (GGGGG) b circa 1790s
So far I have been unable to find Janes birth certificate, but I will keep looking.
Interestingly, the marriage certificate says John Waldie was born in Scotland, but the cemetary printout has him as a native of Timaru dying in 1942 with last address as Timaru Sth Cantebury at the age of 93yo.
Jane died in 1936 last address of Wakari, where she was married.
So a little bit of a puzzle.
Cheers for now Derrick
