Hi Sonya - just one quick point, back in those days "son-in-law" was also used as another term for step-son.

Thank you so much. Brilliant so late at night. I think the Ann/Anna threw me. I see that son in law could be step son.

Cant find the record now. Better go to bed!! sonya

This may be of interest; Ada Hight was the informant re the death of Jemima Catherine
Johnston in Portobello, Midlothian, 19 Apr 1907 (Edinburgh area).Ada is shown as her niece. She has an address in Edinburgh so I presume she was living there.
Jemima`s mother was Catherine O`Bree, b abt 1810 Deptford, Kent. She married James Hope Johnston
(b 21 March 1817 in Edinburgh) but I cannot find the marriage details. It may have been a very early one in New Zealand as Jemima was born before the official records were kept there.
