Elizabeth Ross Spinster Timaru New Zealand Servant 18 Balmain James Ross Isabella Hunter Mason

Does 'Mason' refer to James' occ or a name of Isabella? Also is the marriage in NZ?

Geoff

EDIT: Found an area of Aukland called Balmain..

 

[DaveHam9]

Balmain, NSW.

Mason is occupation.

Just checking the E/R's, nothing leaping out in 1903 yet..

Thanks Geoff.

I've gone through all the Isabella in Ryerson and seems no match.

Perhaps they died in NZ. I have no clue either way.

If they married at her mother's house, that would be Balmain?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, pob NZ and 'usual residence' = Balmain.

Don't know if it is the right one.

There were some Isabella Ross in Ryerson with see ... = new surname= remarriage

Oh!

Possibly why it only mentioned mother's house and not parent's house. Though no indication that father was dec.

I don't suppose we have Isabella's birth details?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Possibly.

Can't see a death that fits for Isabella Walker.

Geoff

Not yet but we'll get there.

I may have found an error in my tree.

Perhaps I have the wrong death for Elizabeth nee Ross. Ernest may have married twice.
