Hi Jessie

If you use the link above provided by Alex G. - and click on "Cemetery Search" (left side bar), you can search for the burial record of the Janet WALKER - aged 47, who died in 1886.

She was born in Edinburgh and according to the burial record, had been in NZ for 11 years - arrival c. 1875*.
[* We always urge caution with info supplied for death certificates as sometimes informants can be astray with the information they provide.]

Janet WALKER is buried with a number of others, some also named WALKER, who may or may not be related.  [Maybe you might recognise some of their names ? ]

Her last adddress was "Castle Street, Dunedin" and on checking local electoral rolls I can see there was a Robert WALKER listed as living in Castle Street  1870-71 / 1877 and 1879-80 (but not beyond that date ?? ).  [If Robert Walker the husband of Janet / Jessie was born c. 1852, then he is possibly too young to be listed on a roll in 1870-71.]

Hi again

... should have said also that the burial record for Janet WALKER (1886) stated she was "married".

I note that you are looking for passenger lists to NZ from c. 1870.

*  Do you have details of your Robert WALKER on any Scotland census returns ?

Couldn't see any issue for a Robert and Janet / Jessie (and var.) WALKER between 1874 and 1886. [NZ BDM online indexes. ]

Thank you all very much once again I would be delighted if you could take a photograph if possible Alex G.
Robert Walker was born in North Berwick East Lothian in 1852 son of William and Jemima Redpath his wife  Janetwas born in Edinburgh in 1839 .
I believe that Robert married a Jane ( Jeannie Gibb ) who was actually Janet's cousin ( their mothers were both born with the surname King in East Lothan .
I have found a daughter through the NZ on line indexes Jemima Redpath Walker born to Jeannie and Robert who married George Thompson in 1919
and died in 1966.
Cheers

Have you checked this link provided by Lucy 2:-

http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/facilities/cemeteries/cemeteries_search?recordid=100060&type=Burial

Would this be the Janet Walker born 1839 died 1886?  I see there is photographs available of the headstone.

Will take the photograph at Andersons Bay Cemetery.
