• Notes

  1865, Statutory Marriage 444/00/0023 Leslie, County Fife, Page 12 1865, on 16 June at Leslie after Banns according to the Forms of the United Presbyterian church, Groom: Robert Wilkie, Bachelor, Ploughman Age 21 Residence, Ingrie, Leslie, Parents: William Wilkie, ploughman & Margaret Fraser Bride: Elizabeth Mitchell Single, Bleacher Age 21 Residence: Leslie, Fife Parents: Andrew Mitchell, Bleacher & Elizabeth Robertson Witnesses: William Mitchell & Janet Wilkie Minister: Archibald Alison Registrar: John Swan 1871 Scotland Census: Reg # 440, Line 22, Roll CSSCT1871_75, Household #70 Robert Wilkie, Head, Male, married, Age 26, Occ Yarn Bleacher Elizabeth Mitchell, Female, Wife, Married, Age 26 Andrew Wilkie, Male, Son, Age 3 Elizabeth Wilkie, Female, Dtr, Age 7 mos Robert & Elizabeth moved to England, London as Daughter Elizabeth married a William Ayres in 1889 ( Bride was 19 & Groom 21) 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
