Probate documents relating to the death of Johanna Mary GRAY, 15 May 1906, include statement by husband Archibald Alexander GRAY -
"...my said wife and I also took in infancy another niece whom we have treated as our adopted child namely Kate Urania GRAY now eighteen years of age"

What do you know about the lives of brothers and sisters of Johanna GRAY nee ARNOLD?

NZ BDM marriage
1886 / 2072 ARNOLD Catherine  m.  GARNER William

Catherine is a sister to Johanna. GARNER children are brought up by Archibald and Johanna, and named in same document, 1906. Catherine died (1901), and husband had abandoned family.

The statement of Archibald Alexander GRAY, contained in the Probate document for Johanna Mary GRAY, forms part of the information I had planned to send onto you [namely the portion relating to the "adopted niece" ].

Further info is now being sent via PM.

Thanks for the link to Johanna's Administration document wivenhoe. Fabulous stuff.  :)

I had been basing my information on Archibald's Will, which I had purchased sometime in 2014. (Having them available through Family Search is such a good resource and sooooo much cheaper  :) )

Minniehaha, Mary Gray Garner married William Reedy during 1911 and also appears to have gained the additional forename of Margaret. Thanks for the paperspast links as well.  :)

Cheers,

Simon
