New Zealand / Re: Finding Jane Donnelly & Captain Alexander Edwards 1877

Hi Jan,

You might be interested in the headstone erected in memory of the Captain:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/221527860/alexander-john-edwards

You can read the full inscription by clicking on "View Original" and then magnifying it.

His death notice did also appear in a New Zealand newspaper:

[By the way, the words, "my dear wife" which appear in reply #12, were commonly used 'back in the day' when preparing a will.  :) ]

Further to reply #2...

I think I read on Rootschat recently that divorce files usually include a copy of the marriage certificate?

If so, perhaps a look up could be requested:
