1. Annie Esther Gray was born about 1869; died on 24 Mar 1908 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. Notes:
Marriage: 30 Oct 1884 in West Taieri, Otago, New Zealand Reg #. 1884/1662 Source: Free BMD Govt site - New Zealand HW Jan 2011
Death: Papers Past, Otago Witness, 3 October 1895, Page 27
Gray - On the 1st October, at the residence of Mr. C. Wilkie, Gordon Road, Mosgiel, (Suddenly), Maggie Gray, in her twenty-third year. R.I.P.
The newspaper archives seemed to gather notices and group them on one page for ease of viewing, the date at top reads 1895, but that doesn't compute in birth yr for Annie Esther - so for the moment am presuming this to be a Sister of Annie Esther Gray's.
