Looking for info about Maria Scott nee Jorns, married to James Scott. Lived in Nelson New Zealand, sorry I have no dates for them.

A Maria Elizabeth JORNS married a James SCOTT in 1878.
There is a Maria Elizabeth SCOTT in the 1893 Electoral Roll for Buller. Residence: Takaka (which is a town NW of Nelson in Golden Bay, South Island); Occupation: Domestic Duties.
I found a Probate for a Maria SCOTT, widow, died at Stoke (close to Nelson) 7 Jan 1954. Her will is held by Archives NZ, Wellington Office.
I also found a Probate for a Richard JORNS, settler, died at Masterton 14 Nov 1855. His will is also at Archives NZ, Wellington Office.
Regards, riley
