Hi Powerhouse

Just also spotted a Probate record - with a Greymouth connection ?

WILLIAMSON - Amelia Elizabeth, Runanga - w/o William R. Williamson  -  Year 1912

[Greymouth Court - file at Archives NZ, Christchurch. ]

Now need to check BDM for death of this Amelia.

Hi Powerhouse

Mmm  ... only death I can see indexed for an "Amelia" is >>

1912 - WILLIAMSON - Emilia Elizabeth - 50 YA (about 50 years)

So born circa 1862 ... does that sound right ?

Still looking.

It does sound right.  I will ask for those Probate records when the office in Christchurch opens again.  It's been closed because of the earthquake, but I understand they were all safe.
I've noticed that when I post a message while I'm receiving a message mine doesn't show up on the Website.

Hi Powerhouse

Mmm ... I think the age (54) given on the Greymouth Cemetery record, seems much more probable.

Just found this earlier NZ marriage.

Amelia E. McCREEDY - John David WATTS - 1874

More diggin' to be done.    :D
