Riley, you are a gem - thank you very much.   I see my Eliza has knocked a few years off her age to marry a much younger Peder

Hi Bronwen,

I'm intrigued. How old was she?

Not too much older - she had turned 40 earlier in the year but she also had 6 children so Peder must have been very keen!   

The info off some of the ITM's you have looked up has enabled us to follow our McKnight/Jenssen family moving from Christchurch to Invercargill in about 1898 and we very recently tracked down a whole lot of 2nd cousins from down there that we didn't know about.  Even better, one of them turned out to be living here in Blenheim now, so I met her just after New Year which was great.

Thanks again, Bronwen
