Thank you for your help. Much appreciated. I had seen the reference to Ann Lindsay. Sometimes in the families they are known by different names that happens frequently. I wondered if Ann could be Honora Ann Lindsay. Just speculative. Samuel's son Alfred James - his wife is Martha Ann(e) nee Burke. Martha's Corner in the Auckland CBD opposite the Sky City Casino (Albert and Victoria Streets) is named after her. Martha's mother Catherine (nee Myers) is known as Catherine Burke and also Catherine Townsend (Townshend) and that is because she is married to two people in Auckland at the same time. See Michael Burkes Statement. There is quite a bit of information on the "slums" of Chancery Lane in Auckland which the Lindsays, Burkes, Townsends are connected

Yesterday the information from BDM arrived by email for Honora Lindsay died 1893 Auckland and also Alfred James Lindsay the son of Samuel Lindsay and Honora Lindsay who died in 1913 in Auckland.
