Wilson descendants sought
• I am trying to make contact with the descendants of Hugh Alexander Wilson and his wife Elizabeth (Lizzie) Wilson nee Meek. Hugh was born in Dunedin on 30 April 1 880, the son of David Wilson and Jane Key. He died on 5 September 1952 at Waimarino Hospital, Raetihi. He is buried in the Ohakune Cemetery. His wife Lizzie Wilson was born on 19 April 1891 at Owaka, South Otago, the daughter of Joseph Meek and Elizabeth Kennell. The last contact with Lizzie was in 1963 when she was li ving in Raetihi Road, Ohakune. According to Hugh's death notice in the newspaper he was the father of Dorothy, Elizabeth and George and the grandad of Elizabeth, John and June. I am compiling a publication to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the settlement of Otago in 1 898 and wish to make contact with any descendants of Hugh Wilson. Hugh is the grandson of one of the original settlers to arrive in Dunedin in 1 848. If any person is able to help me make contact with this family, please contact Heather Bray, 26a Hargest Crescent, St. Kilda, Dunedin 9001.
