    Notes 
    • "Emma Janes was the eldest daughter of Jane Devonald Hopkins, born Swansea 1854. She became a seamstress. Emma Jane came to New Zealand with her sister Annie, who had T.B. and had been encouraged to take a long sea voyage for her health. She met her Scottish husband in Milton, South Otago. No-one knows why she was in Milton but here she met and married George T.Campbell. Both were 21 at the time. It was always believed that they were married in Milton, but there were no records of it at the date everyone expected. George Pearson found the detail completely by accident. They were NOT married until 1882, by which time they had their first four children, Elizabeth, George, Lilian and Edith the baby. There is a photo of Emma Jane holding baby Edith, - it was very likely her wedding photo. Eleven (11) children later in Invercargill, her health was poorly and Edith Annie (Dot), left school at 14 years in order to look after the household. Later Emma Jane's health improved and she lived to a ripe old age. She died in 1927 and is buried in Invercargill".
