Hi,

Isabella Paterson, married to Donald Munro was indeed the daughter of John & Elizabeth  Paterson. They emigrated to New Zealand & farmed at Otepopo which is now called Herbert. This is in North Otago in the South Island of New Zealand. This is all I can remember with out looking anything up.I assume that they are probably both buried in the Herbert cemetery. I do know that they called their farm Strathmore after the Strathmore Valley they left behind.

Regards
Linda

Thank you for your input Ian. I don't know about the Douglas side ,but I believe Elizabeth's husbands brother Thomas Paterson was involved in someway with the clearances. Regards Kiwi Girl

Hi Julina - I believe you descend from George Paterson my gt gt grandfather was his brother Anthony thus making John & Elizabeth Paterson ( nee Douglas ) my gt gt gt grandparents. This site is hard because I don't know where you live or how much you know.AlsoI do not know where your info came from. I live in N. Z. and have a copy of the death entry for Elizabeth.This may be a red herring but it shows  that she was born in Northumberland & married in Sutherlandshire.The informent was her son Anthony.I am also working in with a descendant of John William - Regards kiwi girl
