Thanks Mike that is fantastic - sounds like I was totally up the pole.
I have a bit more information since I put this up - but some of this now may be wrong.
Her daughter Jane Brock's death certificate says she was formerly a Fletcher and Wright.
The 1871 census says she was born in Edinburgh.
I have seen her name listed as Menie and various other spellings.
I would appreciate anything going backwards or forwards to ensure I have it right.
many many thanks Bronwen, Christchurch, New Zealand
