Thanks Janette - that's not her then - (unless whoever gave the info for the certificate didn't know Scotland from Cornwall!  )

Can't see her relocating to Victoria at aged 77+ can you??   Just a thought!  I'll look!

Hi Annie,

  Thank you!!   I have just found that one - and when I looked she came up as Percy - the reference no is 3323.  now going to try and find her arriving in Victoria!!  These Percys - they are an elusive mob!

Edit to add - that is definitely the right lady!  One mystery solved!! 

Now getting her to NZ!

They didn't leave Victoria until after 1861

- there is a son born in 1861 - William Edward - but no more children showing - up til 1870 so they could have left soon after 1861 me thinks.

Narrowing the time frame down!!

I wonder if Elizabeth could have died before her Step mother - surely they would have known though??    - still might be worth looking!! 
Seems very odd!!   I don't know if her name was on the original -  I can't see that it was when I look at the will document. 
Where I see her name is with all the other children  in 1914 - and the fact that one daughter had died subsequent to Roger's death was noted - so there had been some things added/subtracted.
