Otago Death Lookup please
« on: Friday 27 January 06 00:35 GMT (UK) »
Would anybody be able to help me please with a lookup for

Andrew Gibson, farmer in Oamaru area. He was born 1879 in Scotland and emigrated to NZ about 1920's (I think). He married in NZ, don't know who to and I am told that he had quite a large family. His nephew, Andrew Morrison (died Dunedin in 1980) also went to NZ with him.

Andrew Gibson's parents were Andrew Gibson (1845 - 1903) and Elizabeth Hewitt (1857 -  before 1941?).

Elizabeth Hewitt Gibson was still alive in 1923 according to the marriage certificate of one of her other children but has completely disappeared in Scotland, no trace of her death cert ... I am wondering if perhaps she went to NZ with her son Andrew given the coincidence of dates i.e 1920's?

thanks,

Lindsay
