Janet’s eldest daughter, Marion, married Thomas Fleming at Otepopo, North Otago, on 17 March 1875. Thomas was part of Fleming Rolled Oats. From the marriage stemmed four daughters and three sons. Two of the sons, Herbert and Andrew, were to make their careers in the firm; a third, Thomas, qualified as a doctor at the University of Glasgow and returned to practice in Gore and Mataura.
At some point Marion became very sick and she, along with Thomas and son Thomas embarked on a trip to the USA, Canada and then the UK. While in Glasgow, in 1904, Marion had 2 operations. The text does not say what they were.
After Marion Fleming’s death in 1905, Fleming married Ellen Freeman at Green Island on 7 March 1906. Oddly, there was no notification of Marion’s death in any newspaper on PapersPast which is surprising, considering the profile of the family.
The children of Marion and Thomas are as follows.
