"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.

I believe this Family to be William Dick Wilkie, Son of Robert & Christian (Paul) Wilkie - will cont. research hoping to find a death, as not on 1881 Census. 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.

It seems logical that Janet went with her family Wm Dick Wilkie & Margaret Fraser onto New Zealand.

A Marriage is recorded in New Zealand of John Heron (Haron) Sinclair & Janet Wilkie 28 Aug 1872 Reg # 1872/7121

SINCLAIR, JANET Age 82 Years Female Date of Death 2 Sep 1928 Place of Death Last Address 23 CARGILL STREET, DUNEDIN NORTHERN CEMETERY Location Block 38. Plot 2 Date of Burial 4 Sep 1928 Type Burial Original reference:- N19280903 According to govt site, Death Reg # is: 6287

Years in NZ:- 58

The following burials are also in this Plot SINCLAIR GEORGE ALEX 24 Years Burial 20 Mar 1900
SINCLAIR JOHN HARON 51 Years Burial 2 Aug 1897
SINCLAIR MARY MURRAY 40 Years Burial 15 Dec 1913


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
Dugald, born 1883 - Reg #4938
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 2011

Janet married John Heron Sinclair on 28 Aug 1872 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. John (son of George Sinclair and Marjory Heron) was born on 21 Oct 1843 in West Wemyss, Fife, Scotland; died on 31 Jul 1897 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand; was buried on 2 Aug 1897 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.

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

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

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.

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:

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.

This gentleman is buried in the East Taieri Cemetery, Location Block PD, Plot 53. At this time, I don't know if this is close to what I believe is his Wife, Janet Renton and possible a child - Winifred Wilson Renton

So whether the newspaper notice in 1893 is for this James Carrell Renton - as a baker or whether for his Father prior to his Father returning or going to Farming - all unknown data at the moment Jan 2011 HW

Buriel: Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension (Nord) France
Cemetery Reference: III.C.276
History Information
Bailleul was occupied on 14 October 1914 by the 19th Brigade and the 4th Division. It became an important railhead, air depot and hospital centre, with the 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 11th, 53rd, 1st Canadian and 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Stations quartered in it for considerable periods. It was a Corps headquarters until July 1917, when it was severely bombed and shelled, and after the Battle of Bailleul (13-15 April 1918), it fell into German hands and was not retaken until 30 August 1918. The earliest Commonwealth burials at Bailleul were made at the east end of the communal cemetery and in April 1915, when the space available had been filled, the extension was opened on the east side of the cemetery. The extension was used until April 1918, and again in September, and after the Armistice graves were brought in from the neighbouring battlefields and the following burial grounds:- PONT-DE-NIEPPE GERMAN CEMETERY, on the South side of the hamlet of Pont-de-Nieppe, made in the summer of 1918. It contained German graves (now removed) and those of a soldier and an airman from the United Kingdom. RENINGHELST CHINESE CEMETERY, in a field a little South of the Poperinghe-Brandhoek road, where 30 men of the Chinese Labour Corps were buried in November 1917-March 1918. BAILLEUL COMMUNAL CEMETERY contains 610 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; 17 of the graves were destroyed by shell fire and are represented by special memorials. BAILLEUL COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION contains 4,403 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; 11 of the graves made in April 1918 were destroyed by shell fire and are represented by special memorials. There are also 17 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and 154 German burials from both wars. Both the Commonwealth plot in the communal cemetery and the extension were designed by Sir Herbert Baker. In the centre of the town is a stone obelisk erected by the 25th Division as their Memorial on the Western front, recalling particularly the beginning of their war service at Bailleul and their part in the Battle of Messines. The town War Memorial, a copy of the ruined tower and belfry of the Church of St. Vaast, was unveiled in 1925 by the Lord Mayor of Bradford, the City which had "adopted" Bailleul.
