Johanna Pepper married to Robert Dunn Johnston

[Hootsman]

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to establish the birth data for Johanna Pepper who was born about 1886 in Airth, Stirlingshire, Scotland. I believe she emigrated to Wellington, New Zealand in 1908 and married Robert Dunn Johnston in 1910. I am unable to find a birth registration for her although I have her with her siblings and parents in the 1891 and 1901 Scottish Census, which gives me an indication of her year of birth. The most reliable method of confirming that the Johanna referred to is my Great Aunt is if in her marriage certificate her father James Pepper, who was a Fisherman, is mentioned or any reference to her place of birth being Airth in Stirlingshire, Scotland.
Any help in sourcing this information is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

John

A James Pepper married a Marion Taylor 1875.
There is a birth registration for Marion Taylor Pepper, 1878, Airth and Albert Pepper, 1882, Airth which would appear to fit the 1901 Census.

Yet to spot a Johanna or similar.

A Johanna Pepper sailed for Wellington on the "Arawa", May 1908 and a Pepper appears amongst the passengers arriving July - but no initial/given name legible(from Papers Past).

The 1875 marriage and birth of Euphemia pre. this date was a puzzle but I see from the 1881 Census there were 4 step children in the household?

Just to clarify the Robert Dunn JOHNSTON and John William JOHNSTON  connection ...

The boy, John aged 18 years,  was John William Robert JOHNSTON the son of Mary Ann and John Henry JOHNSTON.  He was buried at Aramoho Cemetery, Wanganui,  - b/son of ...  ^ above ... accidentally killed  at Matarawa, 15 July 1932.

[NZ BDM - Births - 2 x  boys named John William Robert JOHNSTON -- 1 born 1913 at Auckland to Johanna and Robert JOHNSTON ... the other, birth registered  1914 at Waverley (Taranaki) would be the John who died 1932. ]
