Hi Jean ,

Visited the cemetery today and located your Rhinds, incidentally they are close to my ggrandparents and extended family.  They are facing east so get the sun in early morning.   Buried on what is known as the " Hill"  where mainly all the Presbyterian early settlers are.

Unfortunately there is no tombstone   I did take photos of their resting place for you, so if you PM me your email address I will send them on to you.

Cheers
KHP

hi mc2zephyr.
thank you for your reply, i will email my sister and let her know what information you have sent me. as she tried to read what army james rhind was in, barbara knew about him being a buglar and 7th foot but not the regiment as she couldnt understand the writing.
i do hope the whole family do not mind us asking questions about the family, since doing this we have found out more than we expected on all the families. as you may see we are trying to find info on our 2x greatcousin who lived in alberta canada, he was my grand fathers nephew. i am greatfull for any help you can give me,  do you know of the wade and cronin families as i know they married into the rhind families as well? if you want any info on this side of the winchester family will gladly send you it.
 time i went to bed now as up early in the morning.bye for now.
  kindest regards........jean........

James Rhind was born in 1830 near Glasgow but was baptised in Moray where his father was born. His parents were William Rhind and Mary Whitelaw, married in 1830. William's parents were James Rhind, a mason, and Elspet Sandison (the only evidence of this that I can find is via the marriage of Jane Rhind who was sister of of William)

James was brought up in Moray. I think he was staying with his aunt Jane Findlay in Dallas, in 1841 census, working as a farm labourer. In 1851 census, he was a farm labourer in parish of New Spynie, working as a farm labourer. He married Mary Winchester in November 1851.

Mary's parents were Thomas Winchester and Agnes McKenzie. Interestingly, James' sister, Mary Rhind, aged 15, was a farm servant to the family. She later married a Robert Squair.

James and Mary left Scotland, from Glasgow to Auckland on The Viola in 1864 with their children, Mary, James, Elizabeth and Johanna.

Possibly his uncle (but haven't proved this yet though James' brother, William stayed with them in 1851 census but marked as son, but also boarder...also ages don't tally as father/son) Alexander Rhind and Isobel Sellar left for Lyttleton, NZ in 1960. Theeir children were William, an infant, not Wm above, James, Elizabeth, Margaret and Alexander. They settled in Christchurch, Canterbury, NZ.

Another uncle (I think), John Rhind and wife, Elspet McKnockiter left Glasgow for Bluff, NZ in 1863 with their children, Margaret, James, George, Ann, William, Alexander, David and Jane. Think they settled in Invercargill, NZ
