MARTIN female twins - born Otago, New Zealand c1915-1920
MarieneeHILL
Father was Alexander MARTIN - His first wife (Margaret Ann) died when twins still young & he married his housekeeper Annabella Selina GARDINER 1925. He died soon after. Girls called Violet & ? May MARTIN. Also 2 older brothers - names unknown (one maybe "Peter") When Alexander died, he was farming at Awamoa, north west of Oamaru, north Otago, New Zealand. Annabella died following lengthy hospitalization following a car accident & is buried among her family at Warrington, Otago, N.Z.
Can anyone identify the twin girls & maiden name of mother? Did the twins marry?
Grateful for any leads - much of this is'family legend'
Thank you
Marie
