Andrew Wilkie

Other Events and Attributes:

• Migration: 1874, , , , New Zealand; Passenger lists - aboard Auckland

Notes:

Cannot find this family on 1881 census but this info was placed on Fife website

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)

Where did Andrew go? Cannot locate him on 1881,1891 etc Scotland census Jan 2011

I have found some immigration / travel documents with a listing of Andrew Wilkie, born abt 1867 - birthplaces have been England but this could still be possible if Robt & Eliz Wilkie moved prior to 1889 - have more evidence of an Andrew Wilkie in Melbourne Australia, some Andrew Wilkies in England with similar naming patterns of relatives that match common names in our Wilkie families, but nothing conclusive enough to suggest a strong match or strong possibility.

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

I am not certain that the John Lamb Wilkie - & family names connecting to him in Electoral Rolls are our relatives. In further researching of electoral rolls, I believe the Robert Alexander Wilkie that is located in Oamaru, Ashburton, Canterbury areas is our relative. The other names associated with him are his Sister and there is one marriage recorded to Nea Presland - for the moment, I shall go forward with this choice and consider it a 'guess' based on some facts.

I lost track of this couple at this point, I have looked at other electoral rolls, some in invercargill area and others, that give a Dorothy MacKenzie, one states a widow, but the christian name Pearl is not there - so doesn't seem to fit, nor other factors.

Perhaps this couple moved elsewhere - perhaps even North America, Australia 2019 hw
