Can any lister help with the following please? Angus McLEOD b. Stoer, Sutherland Scotland mrd 9 Jul 1844 Catherine McLEOD b. Badnabbon, Scotland about 1828 Daughter Jane born 15 Jun 1845, Assynt, Sutherland mrd George Frederick BRAGGINS b. Oxford 2 Mar 1845 in Newton, Auckland 8 Nov 1864. Angus had died by 1864 when their daughter Jane mrd. Her mother Catherine had married a George CRAIG in 1863 in Newton, Auckland, NZ. She was 35, a milliner and had been living in Newton for 3 years. George was a widow aged 47 and a fireman on the paddle steamer *Tasmanian Maid*. George BRAGGINS and Jane McLEOD returned to England after the birth of their first two (of 14) children. There is some thought that either Angus or Catherine had connections to the Rev Norman McLEOD who settled first in Nova Scotia 1817 and then in Waipu, NZ in 1854. In a letter written by Samuel Walter BRAGGINS (son of George and Jane) in 1952, Samuel states "My mother [Jane McLEOD] was age 3 years when her uncle met her and my grandmother on the quay". There is no mention of which quay or where. Is it possible that Catherine was connected to the Rev Norman McLEOD and travelled to NZ with daughter Jane after the death of Angus? If anyone has any knowledge of George CRAIG, Angus or Catherine and Jane McLEOD, I would love to hear from you. Thanks.
