No that is not my Mary Josephine as she married Sydney George Hall, either there in NZ or Sydney before 1904 or there about's .Think he was also from NZ. Yes I have been to that cemetery in Wellington and seen the grave of Maurice and Mary Frances O'Connor. Looking at some old mail I think Elizabeth O'Connor may have married Aitken in Napiier. >>>snip>>>
