Martha Jane DONALD & Edward George EDWARDS
« on: Thursday 27 April 06 15:26 BST (UK) »
Hi
Hoping someone may be able to help with info on my Gt Grandparents

Edward George Edwards
Born c. 1875 where abouts unknown
Died 4 may 1946 Auckland [age 71yrs]

His wife
Martha Jane Donald
Born c. 1877 where abouts unknown
Died 19 Feb 1946 Auckland [age 73yrs]

Their son was
Leonard Samuel Alexander Edwards [married mavis Gertrude Hill]
Born c. 1903
Died 1964 Auckland

Did they have any other Children

I have been unable to locate who their parents where or when they arrived in NZ.
Although I did found this
In 1886 the Addresses (or acknowledgement) to Sir George Grey list's a Martha Jane Donald as arriving in 1872 but no ship is listed.

Any Information would be much appreciated as I live in England

Regards
Shaznki
