Help looking for Christopher JOHNSTON/E

[Jeanette]

MARGARET STEWART MCALPINE b 1857 SCOTLAND, had 3 children with CHRISTOPHER JOHNSTON/E. They lived in Auckland NZ. She had been married to JOHN VEITCH and later 1917 Married to OTTO FREDRICK OLSEN.
Children from the JOHNSTON/E family were CHRISTOHER JOHNSTON/E b 1885. MARGARET JOHNSTON/E b 1888. WILLIAM JOHNSTON/E b 1891.
Does anyone know of this family? especially Christoher Johnston/e snr.

Hi

  ... and welcome.   

I see the children's births are registered as "JOHNSTONE" (1886 / 1889 and 1891).

Christopher JOHNSTONE (Snr) is still in Auckland in 1902
where a case of assault is brought against him by Margaret VEITCH.  [His surmame in the article is given as "Johnston".]

[Possibly the children are named in Margaret OLSEN's will ?]

Maybe, in view of the "troubles" between Margaret (VEITCH) and Christopher JOHNSTON(E), this man might have departed New Zealand ?

*  Do you have any idea of the year of birth of Christopher JOHNSTONE (or his birthplace) ?

Just not seeing on the NZ Death index, a death for "Christopher JOHNSTONE / JOHNSTON" who would have been of a similar age to Margaret.

Hi

I'm guessing you may already have the other children of Margaret VEITCH ?   [Will add them here though, it can sometimes help with furthering a search. ] 

VEITCH

1876 - Margaret Stewart Farquharson VEITCH
        Parents:  Margaret Stuart ?  & John

1877 - Thomas McAlpin ? VEITCH

1879 - Christina Johnston VEITCH

1881 - Andrew Johnston VEITCH
   Mother :  Margaret Stewart - father's name not recorded

1882 - Annie Johnston VEITCH
   Mother:  Margaret Stewart - father not recorded

[Lucy2]

... oops  ... children Thomas and Christina VEITCH

Parents shown as :  Margaret Stewart and John
 

[TwiggyTree]

So am I correct in that the same Margaret who took an assault case against Christopher then later married him?

And that the later three Veitch children were possibly Johnston's anyway judging by the middle names?
