      Cemetery Records
      Name: James Wilkie
      Age: 97 years
      Male
      Date of Death: 25 Jul 1972
      Funeral director: Campbell & Sons, 95 Gordon Road, Mosgiel, Dunedin
      Burial: 25 Jul 1972 East Taieri Cemetery, Block RA, Plot 167
      Others buried in this plot are: David Pearson Mitchell, Irene Winifred Mitchell, Albert Douglas Thomson, Christina Wilkie, Gordon Wilkie
      I think the use of the Mitchell surname - strong possibility these are related to Robert Wilkie & Eliz. Mitchell. That the Christina Wilkie is possibly Christina Brown who married a James Wilkie with Reg. # 1900/4232

      I strongly think this is one of 'our' James Wilkie, Son of Robert Wilkie & Elizabeth Mitchell - who journeyed to New Zealand with Robert's Parents - William Dick Wilkie & Margaret Fraser and Robert Wilkie's siblings
      James Wilkie's wife being Christina Brown (NZ Marriage Index)
      However Christina Wilkie's Probate Will - gives some information that seems relevant, but requires more researching to verify
      Christina Wilkie died 07 Jan 1963 at Mosgiel.
      Husband was James Wilkie, Labourer
      Their children are: Christina Irene Thomson - age 62 - thus birth abt 1903
      James Douglas Wilkie - Butcher - 55 years - thus birth abt 1910
      Janet Elizabeth Winifred Myers - 59 years, thus birth abt 1906
      Janet Eliz. W. (Wilkie) Myers married Harold Myers, Retired Storeman
