Fletcher of Mull
« on: Monday 24 October 05 23:07 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any details re Mary Fletcher, daughter of Duncan & Mary nee McPhail (possibly grandmother) or probably Mary nee Black.
New Zealand Marriage and Death registers conflict, putting her DOB at either 1854 or 1857, and give her place of birth as Isle Of Mull. Migrated to New Zealand 1871/3. Married Andrew Humphrey (ex Foula, Shetland) 1 January 1881.

Lisa

thanks for your info. mullgenealogy is a greatwebsite but has no record for a Mary Fletcher born in 1856 so had been unable to locate her to date. 
Received information last week that the data on the New Zealand Death Register showing her mother as Mary McPhail may be incorrect and is the grandmother, and that the name listed in the New Zealand Marriage Register of Mary Black is correct - still to be confirmed, and McPhail to be her mother.
If this is the case, then Duncan Fletcher 1798 is her father - marriage to Catherine McKinnon apparently his second, and after all names you listed were actually born. First marriage was to Mary Black.
Given this scenario then all NZ records 10 years out.
This seems a large variation, but at least the names then tie in.

Additional info is that Duncan also had a sister Ann?Huh
