All I know is she had her son William
john in 1875 in Cromwell NZ. I only have her name from his marriage certificate. So am guessing born in the 1840's or 50's.

when and where did they marry

please give full details of the marriage, usually at least the father's name and occupation is on the certificate

when did Jessie die? if you have the death certificate maybe there is more info on it, in Australia parent's names are given not sure about NZ.

EDIT whose marriage certificate do you have?
