Dear Lu
I've just had an email from funeral directors in NZ who verified Jessie was cremated and her death registered by her son * Cruickshank
I cannot thank you and everyone who have been so so helpful in helping me.
All I have to do now is find a Marriage gor Jessie to John Robert Johnson
My deepest thanks to all

Hi tazzy

...    date of marriage to John Robert JOHNSON is somewhere between 1963 and 1966 (estimated).
The NZ marriage index of that era is NOT available to us here, online.  So if you're not in NZ, then you'll need to rely on the goodwill of someone visiting a repository here, to view the microfiche record. (Index info only.)   
[Unless there is a record on an NZSG cd or similar, which a helper here may have ? ]

Added:   The other route, if you wanted to purchase a copy of the marriage record, is to do so at NZ BDM at this link >
https://www.bdmonline.dia.govt.nz/NonHistoricRecords
Have to point out that records from the 1960's are classed as non-historic, and there are a few more hoops to jump through in order to purchase them.   
There's a beginners' guide at above  ^  BDM link :

 ... were you aware that Jessie's brother (Margaret's son), David William MURRAY, had also come to live in New Zealand ??     

NZ Death Index (online)

1996 - MURRAY - David William - d.o.b. - 9 Novembe 1906*

[This date of birth is exactly the same as given in pension records of Nathaniel MURRAY. ]

Hadn't noticed your reply, that you already had information for David MURRAY when I posted the above.

Only goes to 1956.

From memory (when I had to go this route) you have to know the date of the wedding and where it took place.

Glad to hear that the Jessie that was put down as a male was the right lass.  I must admit it did throw me, thinking I had the wrong person. :)

Cheers

Thanks for that info re: NZSG cd, and NZBDM non-historic records,  KHP.   

You got the correct Jessie ... well done.   :)
