The age shown in the newspaper death notice for Hugh Neil in 1901 is -"in his 72nd year".

The daughter is referred to as Mrs. W. J. Andrew.

Yes thank you I do have those........not the probate tho, so thank you for that (sure you will see a request sometime soon)  ;D

Also in Papers Past Hugh pops up for going too fast around a corner (lol) and selling bread that wasn't the correct weight..........I wonder if he was horrified given he was a church going man?

Many thanks minniehaha.

Hello again.

QUOTE:
Hugh was also involved in many church things, and possibly a freemason. Not sure when exactly he came to NZ but I tend to think early 1860's. He was a baker when he lived in Scotland also. 
END of QUOTE

Freemason records can be very revealing, if you can get some hard evidence of where and at what time he was a mason.
