In Reply to: Thomas Davidson, Mary Duley - Otago, New Zealand by Dawn Douglas (nee Davidson) of 15578

There is a John Duley listed in the "First Family" database at the NZ Society of Genealogists web site. As a member, I ordered a copy to see what they have. There is also a Jean Duley listed in the First Families - maybe the same man? I will return and post anything of use from the First Family data when I get it.

I also found a burial and probate on a John Duley who was born about 1833 and died 1869.

Burial: Source NZSG Alexandra Branch - Surname DULEY - Given Names John - Year of Death 1869 - Age 36 - Location Alexandra Cemetery, Central Otago

NZ Probates: Name DULEY John - Place Alexandra - Occupation Ferryman - Death Date 1869 - Court Dunedin - Archives Reference DAAC 9074 D239 A328 - Probate Number A328 - Filed Date 24 Aug 1869 - Type Intestate (Letters of Administration) - Further enquiries to Archives NZ - Dunedin

There is a Catherine Duley, wife of John, who is buried at Port Chalmers Cemetery. She had a birth year of about 1845 and died on 23 Oct 1893.

Also buried in the Duley plot is a Mary Ann Winter, who could be her daughter. Date of death 1918. This would mean thatyYour Mary Ann Duley, who married Thomas Edmund Davidson, was divorced from him, as he did not die until 1921. A Mary Ann Davidson married Henry Walter Winter in 1910.
