Robert & Elizabeth moved to England, London as Daughter Elizabeth married a William Ayres in 1889 ( Bride was 19 & Groom 21)

Elizabeth's trail goes cold in England as I cannot find anymore info. hw 2010

I have tried ancestry.ca, findmypast, Free BMD New Zealand and cemeteries, and Otago Witness newspaper for more info on Robert & Elizabeth but cannot find anything new. There are some Mitchells and Wilkies, seemingly tog in Dunedin cemeteries, but tis a Margaret Mitchell not an Elizabeth - so rather and unlikely fit at this time HW Jan 2011

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

New Zealand Electoral Rolls 1905-1906, Otago Taieri
#4378 Wilkie, Elizabeth, East Taieri, Widow
A possiblitity that this person may be Robert Wilkie's wife - Elizabeth (Mitchell) Wilkie
Robert was a farm labourer in the East Taieri district, died in 1895, thus this time is a strong probability. Other Wilkie families listed on this document are Robert & Elizabeth's relatives.
such as Charles & Annie Esther Wilkie of Mosgiel; William Dick Wilkie Mosgiel, Peter Fraser Wilkie of Allanton etc 2019 hw

Migration:
Depart Glasgow Scotland, arrived Dunedin, New Zealand

Elizabeth married Robert Wilkie on 16 Jun 1865 in Leslie, Fifeshire, Scotland. Robert (son of William Dick Wilkie and Margaret Fraser) was born about 1844 in Strathmiglo, Fife, Scotland; died on 21 Sep 1895 in Greytown, Otago, New Zealand. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Marriage: 1889, London England
Groom - William Ayres Age 21
Bride, Elizabeth Wilkie Age 19 (Parents Robert Wilkie & Elizabeth Mitchell) Brides Brother Wm. Dick Wilkie born 1865 in Kinglassie, Fife, Scotland
Source: email from Alan Noble 2004 - his wifes Grandparents were William Ayre & Elizabeth Wilkie

1891 England Census; Class RG12, Piece 121, Folio 126, Pg 57; GSU roll 6095231
William Ayres, Head, Male, Married, Age 22
Eliza Ayres, Female, Wife, Married, Age 22
William Ayres, Son, Male, Age 1

I have found a 1911 census that looks promising to be that of William Ayres & wife Elizabeth and a large family
William Ayres, Head, Age 42, Married, 9 chn born, 8 living, 1 died, General Labourer, builder, Worker, born London Westminster, British
Elizabeth Ayres, Wife, Age 41, Married x 22 yrs, birthplace St Pancras, London**
William Ayres, Son, Age 21, Single, Drapers Porter, worker, birthplace Marylebone, London
Elizabeth Ayres, Dtr, Age 19, Single, Domestic Servant, birthplace London
John Ayres, Son, Age 17, Single, Errand boy, birthplace London
Henry Ayres, Son, Age 16, Single, Errand boy, birthplace London
Albert Ayres, Son, Age 9, Single, School, birthplace London
Doris Ayres, Dtr, Age 6, School, birthplace London
Leonard Ayres, Son, Age 4, School, birthplace London
Frederick Ayres, Son, Age 2, birthplace London

This census info jives with the marriage information I have, so sheds doubt and accuracy on death date of Wm Ayres 1902 and obviously not a Son either as the 1891 census - Son William was 1, thus jives with the Son here whose age is 21. HW Jan 2011 Further corresonpondence with a Noble family researcher whose wife's Parents were the youngest son Frederick of William Ayres & Elizabeth Wilkie.
The naming pattern is consistent with John being William Ayres`s father`s name, Elizabeth for her Mother`s name; missing is a Robert but according to the census info, one child died. Jan 2011 HW

Still trying to verify 1911 census - cannot find a William & Elizabeth Ayres in 1901, there are multiple William Ayres and Eliz. combinations so difficult to rule out 'no's and find the right one without something further to go on - like why does Elizabeth (Wilkie) Ayres both on her marriage and 1891 census give her birthplace as London England??? Her family and grandparents were aboard the ship Auckland to New Zealand in 1874 - how / when did they return to England??Her Sister Margaret was born in Kinglassie December 1872 thus the family moved to England after that HW Feb 2011

Marriage:
Groom - William Ayres, Age 21
Bride - Elizabeth Wilkie, Age 19

Elizabeth married William Ayres on 8 Dec 1889 in Westminster, London, Middlesex, England. William (son of John Ayres and Emma Welham) was born about 1868 in Westminster, London, Middlesex, England; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

I believe this to be our Margaret Wilkie, Daughter of Robert Wilkie & Elizabeth Mitchell - as their Daughter Margaret, was Age 1 year on Passenger list of Ship Auckland, arriving in Dunedin 23 Nov 1874.

Others buried in this plot are: David Pearson Mitchell, Irene Winifred Mitchell, Albert Douglas Thomson, Christina Wilkie, Gordon Wilkie
I think the use of the Mitchell surname - strong possibility these are related to Robert Wilkie & Eliz. Mitchell. That the Christina Wilkie is possibly Christina Brown who married a James Wilkie with Reg. # 1900/4232

I strongly think this is one of 'our' James Wilkie, Son of Robert Wilkie & Elizabeth Mitchell - who journeyed to New Zealand with Robert's Parents - William Dick Wilkie & Margaret Fraser and Robert Wilkie's siblings
James Wilkie's wife being Christina Brown (NZ Marriage Index)
However Christina Wilkie's Probate Will - gives some information that seems relevant, but requires more researching to verify
Christina Wilkie died 07 Jan 1963 at Mosgiel.
Husband was James Wilkie, Labourer
Their children are: Christina Irene Thomson - age 62 - thus birth abt 1903
James Douglas Wilkie - Butcher - 55 years - thus birth abt 1910

14463 Roy Francis MacKenzie College Courts, Cashel Street Company Mgr

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
