Thank you Raylen and Cando

I still have no idea what happened to her son to Patrick Purcell born 1866 James McArthur Purcell was his name.

He has to be somewhere but have not found him in NZ

Will have to keep looking

There is a digitsed will for Edward Baker of Bolinda, died 17 July, 1914.

Probate granted to Agnes Baker, widow and to Albert BAKER, Leslie Alexander BAKER, and William BAKER. An inventory of his property and money is included.

Legacies paid to Albert BAKER, Mary KELLY, John Stephen BAKER, William BAKER, James Edward BAKER, Leslie Alexander BAKER, (his children) and Agnes BAKER. 

The papers include a letter from William BAKER, one of the executors who has some queries regarding rents etc collected by his stepmother, Mrs Agnes BAKER.  It rather leaves one with the impression that William was not best pleased with Agnes.

The site is quite slow to load, and both links for him are worth reading.
