Good morning Hugh, I have 2 box files with information about the Brothers PRide. I did my family tree some time ago and my ancestors were on board that ill fated trip. There names were Helem. I found that voyage very interesting with so many blunders and sickness it really intrigued me. What sort of info are you requiring.? My home email. is sassgen@xtra.co.nz. Look forward to hearing from you . By the way I live in Hamilton. Sandra

Thanks for the McMillan info you sent me. All I am after at this stage is to find out what happened to Lillias Ellen McMillan born 8.9.1878 in Hokitika. She has just disappeared, no marriage, no death for her.
I have just concentrated on my branch of George Sandiland McMillan and was just doing marriage partners and death dates of George Sandilands brothers & sisters.
But I can clarify some dates you have on page 10 of your printout
George & Rose McMillans children
Herbert b. 17.2.1903 m. Thelma Ridden 31.1.1942 died 19.20.1983 Christchurch
Jessie Winifred b. 4.6.1905 m. Louise Robertson 1928 died 25.11.1935 Christchurch
George Ford b. 19.9.1906 m. Ella Minehan 1935 died 1968 Christchurch
Robert Harper b. 21.4.1909 m. Edith Wall 26.7.1933 died 1.11.1988 Christchurch
Mavis Rose b. 29.7.1910 m. Hugh Cuttance 1934 died 1970 Christchurch
Jack Gordon b. 23.12.1912 m. Bertha Thiele 27.12.1938 died 1.6.1963 Greymouth
Arthur James b. 5.9.1916 m. Jessie Davidson 21.11.1942 died 6.3.1998 Hokitika
They were all born in Hokitika except Arthur who was born in Ross
George & Rose McMillan are both buried at Hari Hari
Also a correction for page 14 regarding Arthur McMillan & Jessie Davidsons children
Robin married Brian Keogan
Marion married Arthur Routhan
Robert married Pamela Bishop
I am interested as to where you fit into the McMillan family. I am married to Gordon McMillan, son of Jack Gordon & Bertha McMillan. You have obviously had contact with someone in George Sandilands family to know the details you have. The reason I am saying that is because you have two of Gordons siblings down as the names they were known as, not their birth names.
Hope this has helped clarify a few dates for you and if you find out anything about Lillias Ellen I would love to hear from you
Regards
Mary McMillan
