Hi, This is the first time I have used rootschat.  I found old chat messages which mention John MacPherson.  I am a great grandchild of John MacPherson and Jane.  Was hoping to get a bit more information.  I live in Tauranga and noticed that you lived in the Bay of Plenty.  Would love to see photos if you have them.  Perhaps I have information that might be useful to you.  Look forward to your reply.

with greetings from Christchurch to Moerangi, LCR and AJC.

I am researching a circa 1879 photograph in the collection of National Library of NZ, titled 'Portrait of John MacPherson's two daughters'

Through research I have identified the girls as sisters, daughters of John Drummond Macpherson (1833-1887) and Miriana Te Oha (or Mariana Macpherson) (1852-1931). There are two other photographs of the sisters, taken in 1879 with their Macpherson cousins in Christchurch - the three photos can be seen at

I have information that I would be pleased to share about these families and do hope (with your help) to be able to identify the two sisters, who are either:
Jane [Heni Tuia] and Elizabeth Macpherson
OR
Elizabeth and Christina Macpherson

It would be excellent if you were able to make contact. Please email Ken, care of email address found at:

Hi,
I am the great great granddaughter of John MacPherson and Mariana MacPherson, their son John Koa MacPherson (my great grandfather) is Christina Macpherson's brother.
I did find a newspaper clipping from papers past, Bay of Plenty Times, Volume XV, Issue 2280, 14 May 1888, where Christina Macpherson is applying for a publicans accomadation for a house in Matata, called the Horse Shoe Inn.
Matata is where John resided before he died in 1887.

Hello

I am descended from Isabella Mcpherson, the daughter of Jane Drumond and John Mcpherson (married 08/09/1828 Campbeltown). Ambly has listed the 1841 census but Isabella is not showing, can anyone help with where she is then please ?. The previous posts are very interesting , I wasn't aware John Mcpherson was an excise man, and wondered why he moved from Campbeltown to Greenock but I suppose he would have moved with the job.
I would be grateful for any further info on Jane and John, there is a birth listed on the index on Scotlands people for Jane Drummond  B 16/11/1800 Methven Perth(father listed as James) but not sure if this is her or not

Thanks

Andrea

She doesn't appear on the SP Index either.

Quite possibly just missed?

Had a look at others & don't see her with Drummond g/parents but I haven't done an extensive search, I only looked at freecen.org.uk
