    Notes:

    It appears Mary Murray Sinclair didn't marry, but was a Spinster.

    Mary Murray Sinclair's name possibly comes from her maternal lines -- John Heron Sinclair's Mother was Marjory Heron, whose mother was Mary Murray hw 2019 research


  17. 22.  George Alexander Sinclair Descendancy chart to this point (5.John2, 1.George1) was born on 28 Jul 1875 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand; died on 20 Mar 1900 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.

    Notes:

    Searched Free BMD database for New Zealand - found George Alexander Sinclair Birth:

    While searching the government NZ site, I located 3 marriages during the years 1886 & 1900 for a George Sinclair - 3 matches returned:
    1886/1851 Mary Checkley & George Sinclair
    1898/2879 Charlotte Ann Slater & George William Sinclair - can eliminate this one as not Georg Alexander
    1897/2805 Anna Elizabeth Wright & George Sinclair
    Jan 2011 HW

    2019 research - still have not confirmed a marriage for George Alexander Sinclair but it seems Tuberculosis was prevalent in this Family , thus strong possiblity his death was also tuberculosis related hw

    Correspondence with another researcher - John Hutton - has these people in his genealogy files.
    He states Mary Murray Sinclair, George Alexander Sinclair and Agnes Green Sinclair never married.


  18. 23.  William Wilkie Sinclair Descendancy chart to this point (5.John2, 1.George1) was born on 27 Feb 1878 in , , , New Zealand; died on 1 Oct 1918 in Wanganui, New Zealand; was buried on 3 Oct 1918 in Wanganui Cemetery, Wanganui, New Zealand.

    Notes:


    Searching the Free BMD records for New Zealand, came across a marriage:
    1911 - Groom William Wilkie Sinclair - Bride Jane Frances Higgins - "Reg # is 6114
    Seems a very possible match

    Same database, found a Death - William Wilkie Sinclair - 1918 Age 40 yrs, Reg #11400
    Unable to find a grave location - I checked one site on WWI memorials to soldiers, but his name wasn't found there. HW Jan 2011

    I cannot search for children as we are just now at the 100 yr for birth records accessiblity for the year 1911 HW

    Birth database search - gave William Wilkie Sinclair birth 1878, Reg 5700

    May 2016 research:
    Wanganui Chronicle newspaper - 02 Oct 1918, Pg 4
    Deaths:
    Sinclair, - On the 1st inst. at his residence, No. 7 Serjeant St., William Wilkie, dearly beloved husband of Jean Sinclair, aged 40 years R I P
    This seems a positive fit - as wife was Jane Frances Higgins - thus Jane / Jean used interchangeably.

    Notes:

    Searching the Birth database, found Birth for Agnes Green Sinclair, Parents Janet & John Sinclair, birth year 1883, Reg #9116

    A search on the Free BMD for New Zealand, has an Agnes Sinclair marrying:
    1) Andrew Aitken in 1907 the Agnes Sinclair that married this fellow died 1951, Aged 67 yrs Reg#26218
    2) Ernest Wm Hood - the Agnes Sinclair that married this fellow died 1928, Age 47, Reg #10931

    Possibilities for further research

    New Zealand Electoral Rolls 1963 Otago Dunedin Central

    From further research in New Zealand sites, and the cemetery files of Northern Cemetery, Free BMD Index of New Zealand, perhaps Agnes Green Sinclair remained a spinster. At any rate, she is buried with her family in Plot 0022, Block 12 - another source states she is buried with the Rentons
