Hi Decota,

Just a possibility ....

1896/6278   Wilson    Jane    53Y
1880/1405   Wilson    John William    51Y

Burial location says Invercargill, but this depends if it is your couple. Major libraries will have the cemetery fiche if you want to have a look.

Cheers

A tree on Ancestry says :

5 April 1880 for John in Invercargill - birth 1836 in England

Jane Shipston birth 1834 in England, tree does not give date of death.

No parents names given.

Hi KHP  and  Wivenhoe
Yes the names are correct    I have found in paperspast the death for John Wilson (not John William)
5th April 1880 in Gaol, Invercargill,  there is also a copy of a  commission of enquiry into Death of Prisoner Wilson...but I cannot
identify him as no mention of a wife, but your death date ties in with this.
Will also check out the tree on ancestry...  thank you

Hello Wivenhoe
Yes this is our family  I have these and we are related to Eleanor Wilson,
but don't have the Certificates for Births etc. 
Really would like to go back and find out more about John William Wilson and Jane Shipton
Thank you both for working on this for me

You do not know if the death, 1880, is your John WILSON?

The marriage record, 1856, will not have details of their parents. It will record names of witnesses.......name of a church?........show if they both sign their names.........

A printout of this record will be useful to your research.

Where do you see Jane's name as SHIPTON?

[wivenhoe]

Who and when did Eleanor marry?

[decota]

Hello again
Yes  the marriage original Certificate is the only one I have and you are right no names of parents.
This is where I have her name as Shipston. she signed, he put a cross.
 
No  I have no definite information that the death of 1880 is our John William Wilson.

Guess I need to search the Cemetery file in Library  to see if they are in the same plot?

Eleanor  (Eliza) Wilson Married John Thomas Bowen,  Invercargill New Zealand ?
b.  1862   Timaru  (maybe incorrect)  no Cert. 
d. 18/09/1940 Christchurch  in her 79th year. (have death notice from paper)
