A followup on Alex Anth Pilmer - he married Margaret Roxburgh in Dundee shortly after Jessie's birth, was noted as a customs officer in Dundee in 1851, went to the Ballarat goldfields (Victoria) shortly after, Margaret followed in 1854 but drowned when the "Tayleur" sank off Ireland. Alex remarried in Ballarat in 1860, shortly after they went to NZ and were in Wellington mostly. In abt 1881 they went to Cooktown in Qld where Alex died in 1885. His widow Rosa returned to NZ where she died in 1913. Some of their children remained in NZ and are the family Colin referred to earlier under the Anzac line.
