Elizabeth's trail goes cold in England as I cannot find anymore info. hw 2010

I have tried ancestry.ca, findmypast, Free BMD New Zealand and cemeteries, and Otago Witness newspaper for more info on Robert & Elizabeth but cannot find anything new. There are some Mitchells and Wilkies, seemingly tog in Dunedin cemeteries, but tis a Margaret Mitchell not an Elizabeth - so rather and unlikely fit at this time HW Jan 2011


ancestry.ca file - Auckland Ship - 1245 tons, Captain: Stevens, Surgeon Superintendant:
Sailed Glasgow 27th August 1874 - arrived Dunedin 21st November 1874
List of Passengers:
Wilkie, William D., Age 57, County Fife, Occupation Ploughman
Wilkie, Margaret, Age 55
Wilkie, Christiana, Age 21
Wilkie, William Age 16
Wilkie, Peter Age 14
Wilkie, Charles Age 12

Wilkie, Robert Age 26, County Fife, Occupation Ploughman
Wilkie, Elizabeth Age 26
Wilkie, Andrew Age 7
Wilkie, Elizabeth Age 3
Wilkie, Margaret Age 1
Certainly there seems to be a little discrepancy in the ages and birth dates as I know them, but then this did happen on passenger lists and other databases - so for the moment this checks out. I wonder, though, why Janet left earlier and was married in New Zealand, then also Son James - seems he was perhaps married there also - why did they leave earlier. I also wonder if all of these families or just some were sponsored by the govt to migrate to New Zealand????? HW Jan 2011

New Zealand Electoral Rolls 1905-1906, Otago Taieri
#4378 Wilkie, Elizabeth, East Taieri, Widow
A possiblitity that this person may be Robert Wilkie's wife - Elizabeth (Mitchell) Wilkie
Robert was a farm labourer in the East Taieri district, died in 1895, thus this time is a strong probability. Other Wilkie families listed on this document are Robert & Elizabeth's relatives.
such as Charles & Annie Esther Wilkie of Mosgiel; William Dick Wilkie Mosgiel, Peter Fraser Wilkie of Allanton etc 2019 hw
