WEDDELL family *COMPLETED*

[GailS]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to fill in some blanks. I have William and Isabella WEDDELL (her maiden name is McMillan) coming to NZ in 1878 aboard the "Timaru" with their daughter Esther.

They go on to have 4 sons here in NZ, Claude, Alexander, Forrester, and William,  I have the info on them from the bdm site, I would like to know where William and Isabella are buried, and their children also too please, (I do have some of them in Dunedin) There dosn't seem to be many WEDDELLs on the bdm site, and the Williams age isn't quite right, I might be missing something here!

I would appreciate some fresh eyes please.

Dont worry about the info on Esther as I have all her info as she is my Great Grandma.

Thanks,

Gail.

Hi there

have you seen these - no Isabella though - did she die before or after william?

Wonder if this is yours  - Isabella died 1932 and is at Old and New Oamaru Cemetery.

according to the bdm site

Isabella died in 1932 aged 78
William died 1915 aged 80 so that must be him with the kids.

Not sure where Isabella is yet though.

Looks like you will have to contact the Council for the details of Isabella, or the NZSG of the Oamaru Branch will have details

Hi janinez,

The William who died in 1915 age 80 has him born about 1835, the info I have on William has him born about 1847, this info comes from the LDS pilot site from the passenger records, has him age 31 and Isabella age 28. Do you think the dates and ages could be out that much??

Hi KPH, funny you find and Isabella in Oamaru, I lived there for 27 years, you would have thought I would have got this genealogy bug while still living there!  

Thanks guys.

Gail,

There is another William Weddell on the locator, gives no age, no date of death, but location is Andersons Bay.    NZSG Dunedin Branch has a record no: 1/1757.   Might be worth in getting in touch.
