Hi Melanie,

I can have a look for the newspaper death notices for James George & Johanna Fullerton. Other family members may be mentioned which could be helpful to both you and Gobbolino?

Minniehaha.

That would be great minniehaha. I'm fairly certain I know the immediate  family.  My grandma is their niece and she was in the uk when Jo died. I'd need to check my records for James as my fwmily emigrated a couple of times. Bkth Jo and Jim were single and I've only recently discovered details about the generation above so who knows what the paper might say. There seems to be few Leightons around. Would be great to find more connections. I think their fatger's brither might have gone to new York so maybe some of the others came to nz.

Thanks
Melanie

Hi.  I've not come across a connection to the Leighton's you mention but am certainly happy to make a note for future reference. Thanks for getting in touch!  Gobbolino

Just wanted to publicly thank you Minniehaha for finding the notices. Although no new information, it's amazing to see it written. Brings it all to life :)
