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
"A Notable Event"
Mr and Mrs William Wilkie of Greytown, East Taieri, celebrated their golden wedding with great rejoicings on the 18th inst. at the residence of their Son in Law, Mr John Sinclair, Cargill Street, Dunedin. Mr & Mrs Wilkie have borne the burden and heat of the day for 50 years, and they are still as hale and hearty as can be expected at their time of life. They are natives of Leslie, Fifeshire, Scotland and had five sons and three daughters, 24 grandchildren, and one great grandchild, all of whom, with the exception of one daughter, who is in Leslie, Fifeshire, took part in these festivities. Mrs James C. Renton, George Street, is a Daughter, and her daughters Maggie & Bella, together with Misses Mary & Agnes Sinclair, (also grand-daughters) of the worthy couple) officiated as the golden bridesmaids. This is the second occasion on which the little Renton girls have acted in this capacity, they having been in evidence at Grandmother Renton's Golden wedding 18 mos ago. It is a unique experience, and these young people rejoice in the possession of grandparents on both sides who are in the enjoyment of excellent health, and who united ages, it is worth mentioning, amount to 303 years. At the close of a day full of happiness the golden bride was presented by her relatives and friends with a purse of sovereigns.

Have searched again (Jan 2011) for a census location 1861 for Robert Wilkie - as in 1865 he is 21 and marrying Elizabeth Mitchell - wonder how the Robert & Elizabeth met - presumably in the area as marriage cert. states Robert a ploughman and Elizabeth a bleacher.

Robert & Elizabeth moved to London England as Daughter Elizabeth married a William Ayres in 1889 ( Bride was 19 & Groom 21) Again - questions - how did Elizabeth meet her bridegroom? are there family connections in someway that are introducing the younger generation to one another????? One connection would be John Robert Wilkie & Barbara Hay's family. John died in 1854 thus prior to 1861 census - would family attend one another's funerals in those days (seems very unlikely) - seemed so very little time between death and burials and a lengthy distance to travel.
Large gap here, as when did Robert sail for New Zealand. Did Elizabeth accompany him?

Wilkie: on the 21st September 1895 at his residence, Greytown South, Robert Wilkie; aged 51 years. Deeply regretted
No mention of his wife Elizabeth. Did she remain in England, return to Scotland or accompany him to New Zealand - but it seems on a timeline that Robert left England sometime after 1889 and journied to New Zealand - dying there in 1895.

These names are indicative of naming patterns in Robert & Christian 's family. In 2010, contact with relatives in Dunedin, via ancestry.ca - confirming William Dick Wilkie was Son of Robert Wilkie & Christian Paul, married to Margaret Fraser.

This information along with family data from William Dick Wilkie & Margaret Fraser, I am saying as an educated guess, this is William Dick Wilkie & Margaret (Fraser) Wilkie's Daughter Janet Wilkie, and her family.
Death states 58 years in New Zealand, thus placing emigration around 1870, but Janet was clearly in Scotland in 1871, but again the timing is very close.
Other possible chn found on Free BMD Index for New Zealand are:
Annie, born 1881 - Reg #5554

Christina born 1877, Reg # 9262
Alexander b 1880, Reg #8575
Duncan, b 1879, Reg #3564
However, the Free BMD Index doesn't state the area and merely mentions Surname of Child, given names of child, then parents names as John & Janet - so there easily could be other John & Janet Sinclairs HW Jan 2011Janet married John Heron Sinclair on 28 Aug 1872 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.

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
