I am looking for any information on Martha Linn (house servant) born ~1842 and died in may 1928 (as Mrs Gunning there is a big obituary in the akaroa paper)
I am also looking for information on Donald McIntosh (a ship carpenter)born ~1831 died 1878
they were married in Akaroa, New Zealand on 17 April, 1862.
I can find no record yet of how either of them came to be in Akaroa or New Zealand. I know there was the McIntosh family in that area but I'm not sure that Donald was related to them. They went on to have 7 children together before Donald died in 1878 (how? I'm not sure.)
