SOUNESS Agnes nee Robertson:when & where did she die?.......

[minniehaha]

This topic has become part of the following and so for clarity I have split it off:

See reply # 53  @

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=776191.45

A marriage has been found for an Agnes Souness-

1894/1695 Agnes Souness to John Thomson

However, is this the Agnes Souness born-

1869/35380   Souness   Agnes   Agnes   John

Or is it the remarriage of her mother of the same name?

[Her mother was born in Edinburgh, date of birth unknown but her sister Jane Dickson Robertson was born in Edinburgh in 1838. Parents:Peter Robertson & Catherine nee Dickson.

Hoping you can help find Agnes (the mother's) death......

Minniehaha.

Hello Janette,

Yes, that is the correct family.....


Minniehaha.

[Lucy2]

A marriage has been found for an Agnes Souness-

1894/1695 Agnes Souness to John Thomson

Or is it the remarriage of her mother of the same name?   
No, although her mother did re-marry .... see below.

[Her mother was born in Edinburgh, date of birth unknown but her sister Jane Dickson Robertson was born in Edinburgh in 1838. Parents:Peter Robertson & Catherine nee Dickson.

Hoping you can help find Agnes (the mother's) death......

Thank you Lu, you have solved it.........

Part quote:

SOUNESS - Agnes, nee ROBERTSON - 42 yrs   ' 77  (as written in index ?)

'77 I believe refers to Agnes being widowed that year.


Minniehaha.

[minniehaha]

And the reason we could not find the marriage on NZ BDM......

1883/1452     Agnes   Soumess   William   Sargison

With reference to Agnes the second's marriage in 1894, there is a John Thomson who dies in a railway accident in 1900. You will find the inquest details in Papers Past.

His death notice has wife of Agnes:

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/OW19001031.2.107?query=%22Agnes%20Thomson%22

http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/facilities/cemeteries/cemeteries_search?recordid=104387&type=Burial

There are two births on NZBM to an Agnes and John 1895 and 1897.

Is there a possibility that John and Catherine's husband were brothers? Both were railway employees and both from Scotland. Both had son's George, if the above Agnes is correct.

If John is the correct husband, then it is likely the Agnes remarried, given her young age.

Mm, the birth of the George to Agnes and John, looks to be mother Agnes Johnson:
