Think that is a different Jane ... the initials of the children don't match the ones in Reply #2.

Hello Janette
Thank you for searching for the cemetery records.

 Have been trying to tie in the initials  trying to find George Wilson, d. 19 May 1947
but he doesn't fit in to the family. so far....   But the John William Wilson grave is good as When... I
am able to identify him as Janes Shipton's husband.    will  know where he is .....

maybe they are not in Invercargill somewhere else in the South Island of New Zealand???
thank you Kiwihalfpint for working on this too

I should have added that the 1926 death of the Jane Wilson would have been 13 when your couple married in 1856.

You have the marriage document, 1856....what names do you see for witnesses.

Is this your WILSON-BOWEN  marriage -

NZ BDM marriage
1882/2521   Eliza   WILSON   marr.    John   BOWEN


How have you identified your Eliza, and this Eleanor, to be the same person....daughter of John William WILSON and Jane SHIPSTON?


NZ BDM birth
1862/12863   WILSON   Eleanor parents    Jane   / John William

[minniehaha]

If born about 1834 this may be the death of Jane?


1898/4134   Wilson   Jane   63Y

witnesses on Certificate for marriage of John W Wilson and jane Shipston both aged 22 yrs,
marriage 2o February 1856 Lyttelton.
In the presence of Thomas Ervin??
and Jane Riddle.

I have a certified copy of entry of marriage for John Bowen and Eliza Wilson
3 july 1882 at Rev. J.G. Paterson's Invercargill
Eliza's parents John Wilson and Jane Wilson named Maiden name of mother Shipton

Maybe the Eleanor is wrong  I remember searching few years back and somehow have
misread the year 20 years difference.  as now you point in out Eleanor and Eliza are from different families. Just thought at the time she used two names.....
Our old photos of Eliza Bowen (nee) Wilson are all named Eliza. Thank you for pointing this out to me

minniehaha     Yes this could be her death.     Is this in the  Invercargill cemetery  ??

This one is at Kaiapoi Public Cemetery, not a good picture, I can just make out the figure "8", the word Jane and daughter Isabella Smith.  Probably another Jane Wilson.
