[Donald NZ]

I am searching for any information on Elizabeth Michieson, born 23 January 1851 at Newcastle, Northumberland, England.
Elizabeth died 18 June 1944 in Gisborne, New Zealand.
Elizabeth married Duncan McMillan, born abt. 1848 at Bellochantuy, Argyllshire, Scotland.
Duncan died 21 February 1928 in Gisborne, New Zealand
Elizabeth travelled to New Zealand prior to 1877 and before she became 26 years of age.

Any information, much appreciated

Hi Donald,

I think it might be Durham, not Northumberland, that you want to root around in. Here's Elizabeth and her family in the 1861 census:

Esther Micheison abt 1829 Haston, Durham, England Wife
Elizabeth Micheison abt 1851 Whickham, Durham, England Daughter
Esther Micheison abt 1852 Whickham, Durham, England Daughter
Dorothy J Micheison abt 1857 Tanfield, Durham, England Daughter
John Micheison abt 1859 Tanfield, Durham, England Son

Address: Mutton Houses, Tanfield Durham
Source information: RG9/3729
Registration district: Durham
Sub-registration district: Tanfield
ED, institution, or vessel: 3

Others on the same street include shoe makers, a tailor and a couple of "husb" men. Hope this helps.

HTH,
Trish
