• Notes

  James took on Arkleston with his Aunt, Janet Brown, nee Crawford. Janet managed it after the death of her husband, James (jnr) and that continued until her death in 1905 where James is seen managing it. He sold the farm in 1906 and then left with his young family to Drummond, in Southland and farmed in the district. His father, David visited with him in 1923, but sadly drowned in Bluff Harbour.
