Hi

William Dovey Wynn died 1896 as Jericho alludes to and is buried at green Island. Elizabeth died 1911 and is buried in the same plot.

Ann married daniel Munro in1874.

An Elizabeth Jones Wynn married a John Quick Mitchell in 1876 but there is none other recorded about that time especially to a Croucher. The next Eliabeth to marry was Elizabeth Bell Wynn(*).

Emma married John New in 1883.

William Henry Wynn married Esther Mary Vernon Arnold in 1896.

Margaret married Alexander Murdoch McSwan in 1887.

Thanks for your help  The Elizabeth Wynn you mention has me lost. Of all the Wynn children i have been able to find some small details except for Elizabeth. Make me think i might have the surname wrong.

It just dawned on me i was told a Wynn child died while playing on a picket fence which resulted in her death. Do you know if a Elizabeth Wynn is buried at Green Island Cemetery

Short answer is no. The only other Elizabeth on the City Council Cemetery database was buried in 1918. You can access it on...

John Quick Mitchell was a miner.

I am now not 100% sure if my Elizabeth Wynn was married to a Mitchell or Croucher. I just found a reference on the net NZ Archive relating to Edwin Wynn Croucher. WW1 Army Wellington.  Was she married to CROUCHER or JOHN QUICK MITCHELL?  help
