My Scottish "Wilkie" Family
Isabella
- 18961. Isabella died on 18 Oct 1896 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand; was buried on 20 Oct 1896 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. Notes:
Jan 2011 - for the moment I am presuming or taking an educated guess that James Carrell Renton's parents were a William Renton & Isabella unknown - perhaps Douglas as the name Douglas is one of the given names for James Carrell Renton & Christina Paul Wilkie's dtr.
This assumption is based on cemetery records I have found for Northern Cemetery in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand - where Wm Renton and an Isabella Renton of similar age are buried with James Carrell Renton and his wife Christina Paul WilkieIsabella married William Renton in Unknown. William was born about 1819; died on 22 Jun 1905; was buried on 24 Jun 1905 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
