I may have the link you are looking for. She died in 1906 and is buried in the Port Chalmers Cemetery. Her Daughter Fanny married Harold Josiah Jenkins in 1905. my link is through their son also Harold who married my mother. Harold died in 1950. They had a daughter Denise born in 1942. Hope this fills in some blanks.

Hi
Her son Donald James Geddes married a great aunt of mine, Susan Anne Azzaretti in Port Chalmers in 1905. Donald was killed in an accident in 1910. Susan's sister Felicia was my great Grandmother. She married Henry Steele Montgomery in 1899 in Port Chalmers. Henry Steele Montgomery was an officer with the first Maori Contingent in World War One. He survived 4 years of war, including the Gallipoli campaign.
Hope this helps. Linda Montgomery Auckland, new Zealand

Hi Linda,
Donald James Geddes was my Grandfather and Susan my Grandmother. I live in Wellington and wondered if you might have more information about my grandparents or their brothers and sisters. I have a few photos of Donald and Susan and I would like to learn more about Susan. Her mother, father and brother lived with her after Donald was killed. I was unaware of her sister Felicia. Can you tell me more
