Thanks Beg,  I wonder why it was filed in Wellington.  She and Stanley were both in Dunedin.  Thanks so much for the link - I was having no joy at all  :)

....

The RCE (register of corrected entries) names the father of Annie Georgina as George Lyon. " In an action relating to the paternity of a female child born on or about the Ist day of August 1894 at the instance of Mary Urquhart a domestic servant presently at Hill of Findon, Port Lethan in the county of Kincardine against George Milne Constable in the Glasgow Police Force and presently residing at No 17 Sandford Street Glasgow the Sherriff Court of Lanarkshire on the 6th day of May 1897 found that the said child was the illegitimate child of Mary Urquhart and George Lyon" Recorded in RCE 14th June 1897 King Edward in the County of Aberdeen.

William

Ok, so is this saying the policeman was her dad?  She does have Milne in her name....

Her father is listed as George Lyon and the policeman was George Milne.

Annie, Rosie and William - how are you conjuring such amazing information??? 

Wow, so little Annie was illegitimate and adopted in by William.  I like his style.  Would he have needed to formally adopt her so that she can claim him as her father at her marriage? Or was it - anything goes?

Thanks for everything,

KG

There is a Probate File available (via the familysearch.org website) for Mary JAMIESON - died 12 November 1947.


Ok, now I just feel silly - I still can't see her :/ What did you search with?  I went to FS and then to the NZ records and the probate files and entered Mary and Jamieson... and can't see 'my' Mary....

Wow!  You guys are amazing.  I didn't have a dob for Ann/ Annie and my grandfather, her brother died before I was born so I couldn't ask him.  The rest of them were in Dunedin and Wellington and I was raised in the North Island, so I only have my Mum and her First Cousin to ask - and they'd never heard of her *sigh*

I am in awe at all your delving skills.  William, totally amazing. :D  That wedding and birth date put her birth before the marriage, but has the same father details and occupation. Lucy2, I will check that out at the library and see who my online relation is :) Minnie, I tried my Coppell cousin, but he didn't seem too keen to go down the who's who path with me ;)  Oh and a BIG THANK YOU Lucy2 for the Probate info - I volunteered at the Auckland operation of this and should have thought of that! Rosinish & rosie - you guys helped me refine my search too.

See?  Not in the Scottish thread and I have answers!!!  You are all marvelous!

Firstly - Hi again!  From wandering around in the 'real world' I have returned to where most of my worthwhile leads come from  ;D

Secondly - I know you will be thinking "why isn't she posting on the Scotland page?"

Good point, but I know you guys will have pointers and hints about how I can get the best results when I do post there.

So.... Mary Urqhart (b.1873) and William Jamieson (b. 1868) married in 1897 and had at least 10 Children, over in Scotland,  William dies in 1915 and Mary and 7 of her children moved to NZ - in stages, not en masse.

Mary's death notice reads as follows:

NEWSPAPER/DEATHS: JAMIESON - On November 12, 1947 at Dunedin, Mary Jamieson, loved mother of Stan, Jim, Ian (Dunedin), Walter (Wellington), Mrs J Smallman (Dunedin), Mrs R Beissel (Ravensbourne), Mrs L Jones (Mosgiel), Mrs G Coppell (New Plymouth) and Mrs A Middlemiss (Scotland); in her seventy-fifth year. At rest. Private cremation. Hope & Kingston, Funeral Directors. ['Otago Daily Times', Friday, 14 November 1947, p1a]

I have Ann Jamieson as one of the children that didn't come to NZ.  I have failed miserably on Family Search and Genuki to find who she married or what had become of her.  At the time of William's death the family were living in Edinburgh.  Ann must have married an Albert, Allan or Arthur type name as all the girls are listed under their husband's initial.

If you were trying to solve this puzzle, what would you do?  Inspiration needed!

 :D
