It’s interesting that your OMAND family lived at Dunedin, as John Lilburn lived at Port Chalmers with his wife Annie Jane née HEALEY and their children between 1896 and about 1908. I wonder if they knew each other.

I dont kow if you are aware that John Lillburn's sister Williamina Jane Linklater Lilburn born 25-8-1863 on Graemsay married a William Johnstone Pagan born 20-5-1865 Moffat, Dumfries in Pollockshields, Glasgow on 20-2-1890 they had at least 1 child an Annie Pagan 1893 in Govan and who married a Frederick Coombe in New Zealand.
William Pagan died 1928 and WWillimina 12-11-1939 both in New Zealand.
I have recorded 3 children of John Lilburn, John 19-4-1898, Minnie  1900, and Ilene Anne 1898.  I dont know if this is correct. John may have remarried an Annie Campbell in 1928.
My website at robertwhitton.eu  has many of the families from Graemsay recorded.

Hi Crwhitton,

I have recorded 3 children of John Lilburn, John 19-4-1898, Minnie  1900, and Ilene Anne 1898.  I dont know if this is correct. John may have remarried an Annie Campbell in 1928.

You are correct on all counts. And thank you for the information about Willliamina LILBURN. Any idea when she arrived in NZ?

I will PM you tomorrow.
