Selkirkshire / Re: First Ballantyne from Scotland*completed*

Hi Michelle & Ngaio,
Sorry about the delay in replying. I am just working out how to use this site and also reading some of the previous discussion.
Yes I believe this is the same George Henry Ballantyne. I would be very interested in the earlier family history!
I have his parents as Francis Ballantyne and Janet Douglas. (Janet = Jessie? I did not know the story of her death)
In NZ he married Mary Ellen Norman and they had 7 Children :- Mary Ann; William Henry; Bertram Francis; Arthur Norman; Emily Fanny; Frederick George and Grace Helen. Mary Ann is my grandmother. She married Frederick Henry Ernest Collings on 14 July 1909 in Wanaka (then known as Pembroke) Central Otago NZ. (I have quite a lot of NZ family info but no Scotland)
Michelle - can you tell me which of George Henry's children you are descended from?
Regards
Tanekaha
Sorry Ngaio - I see now you are connected through Mary Ann - John Douglas Francis Ballantyne's daughter with his first wife Margaret Archibald

Hi Michelle,
Can I ask about your interest in George Henry Ballantyne. He was my Great Grandfather & father of my grandmother Mary Ann. They lived in Wanaka Central Otago NZ. I would be keen to fill some gaps in my info
