- From CSC diary 22 August 1902:
"Mrs McKay died in Auckland yesterday and was brought here by the "Rob Roy" early this morning. Alec Matheson came to ask if I would read the service.. The funeral was at 2 pm in the Cemetery, I officiated at the grave, she was buried alongside of her first husband (Mr Maitland)."
Dad's query to me:
I have three identical pictures of (I believe) this woman, on the reverse side of one of them is written 'Johanna MacKay'.
Another of my pictures of this woman has on the reverse side "Mrs Maitland nee Maggie Matheson".
My conclusion is that the wrong name was put on the second of these. Her mother was named Margaret, so it's possible that whoever wrote the caption got confused between the name of the mother and daughter.
