I am hoping some of this research can be done in New Zealand........
A connection needs to be made between the names of Kirkwood, Hughes and also to tie in Elizabeth Douglas

PRINCE ELIZABETH 85 Years, Burial, Died 11 Feb 1957
Her New Zealand marriage:
1912/4339 Elizabeth Hughes Robert McCrachen Prince
Her death notice:
From 'The Otago Daily Times' dated February 12th-
Prince- On February 11th 1957 at her son's residence, 449 South Road, Caversham, Elizabeth Prince of 419 South Road, widow of Robert McCracken Prince and loved mother of Bet (Mrs. Ezra Dobbie, Auckland) and William Kirkwood, in her 86th year.
I do not know where the Kirkwood name comes into the story.
I have not been able to find details of her daughter, Bet who as Elizabeth DOUGLAS married Ezra Augustus DOBBIE in 1920 in New Zealand.
The death notice for Ezra Augustus (who died in Auckland on 7.7.1962) mentions his wife Elizabeth; loved father of the late Betty (Elizabeth Clarke Dobbie, she died in 1949 @ Lower Hutt) and stepfather of T, (Mrs. G.) & male Douglas, Wellington.
[1928/3094 Ida Eveline Wilson William Kirkwood ---No issue.]
Hoping someone may be able to help please.
Minniehaha.
P. S. The "years in New Zealand" recorded for William Kirkwood is incorrect. It is most likely that he arrived with his mother around 1911.
