In 1874 Jane Brookie married William Alfred Lumsden NZBDM.

Who is Jane Prisk nee Brookie from the Matchless? #Edit Jane Lumsden became Jane Prisk. Findagrave Bulls cemetery. ((Perhaps the Prisks were from the Matchless))

Agnes Barbara Brookie
youngest daughter of William Brookie of Bulls married H.E Snellgrove. The best man and attendants were Lumsdens at this wedding. Paperspast.

Thanks whiteout7.

The 1865 date is incorrect, I thinks the last two numbers were reversed by the paper. They definitely arrived 1856. When Jane Prisk died she was 94 and had been in NZ 90 years, so arrived 1856.

Jane Brookie married William Lumsden, and after he died in 1885 she remarried to James Prisk in 1892.
