• Notes

  I'll give the approximate date of birth as that of her husband. She is 16 in the filec:\a\geneal\2famils\3mathes\matheson.doc From https://www.clanmatheson.org.nz/research/waipu-migration/ Matheson passengers on "The Spray": "Margaret (Peg) Matheson. Margaret Matheson, a widow, sailed with her daughters Margaret, Ann, Catherine and Johanna Matheson" The passenger list for the Spray gives a Widow Matheson with 5 members of the family, so this stacks up.
