Oh thank you so much for that Ian
I didn't have that info on his wife (her surname wasn't clear on his cert so its great to clarify that!) Going by the cert they should have married around 1965 yet the BDM has no marriage for them except for one in 1967 for Mary with no husbands name. Do you think this could be them? The cert is a pain as it only states the age of Davids children at the time of his death. So far i have only been able to locate 2 daughters, yet there was 1 son and 3 daughters. Might have to have a look in Australia though as David must have popped over there in the early 1870s as he is on my gt gt grandfathers birth cert as an informant.
There wouldn't be any Nepier's on that fiche? In particular:
Patrick Francis Nieper who married David's daugher (died in 1950) Mary Stewart Farquharson. Patrick died in 1923 by the looks. The only thing i have found on them (besides 2 children) is that Patrick had a bankruptcy record in Dunedin.
Thank you so much for the info. Much appreciated!
