Hi Cockneyrebel,

Further to reply #7 regarding the will of Alexander Macshane, there is also a document with the signature of Clara.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9NS-D5CS?i=295&wc=Q8C5-N9K%3A1045248401%2C1045248402%3Fcc%3D1865481&cc=1865481

The quaint wording of a birth notice in the Nelson Examiner & New Zealand Chronicle dated 24.2.1844.....

"On the 18th- the lady of Alexander Macshane Esq., of a son."

Obituary of Alexander Macshane mentions "leaving a widow and 5 children"......

http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=NZSCSG18490725.2.6.2&srpos=5&e=--1849---1849--10--1----2macshane--

From Papers Past notices I believe these children to have been:

The eldest son, Henry Alexander. Married Mary Budge on 5.2.1876.
The youngest and second son, Charles. Married Eliza Cadman on 31.12.1873. He died on 27.2.1894. "Brother of Mrs. W. F. Beatson, Christchurch".
The eldest daughter, Adele. Married General John Draper on 17.4.1862.
The second daughter, Emily. Married Thomas Gray Shand on 8.8.1867.
The youngest daughter, Florence. Married Richard England McRae on 14.3.1872.
