It says Mary was born 1875 or 1876 and she married William Johnson on 20/7/1893. Mary's father was Thomas Loftus who was born 1844 at Warrington, Lancashire and he emigrated to NZ 1/6/1894 on the ss "Kaikoura". He married Ellen Matilda Morehead on 17/21870 at Sailkot, India. Ellen was born in 1854 in Canterbury, Kent. Mary, your Great great grandmother was born in Naini Tal, India.
