Janet Buchan (1830-1915)

Janet married Charles Buchan (her husband’s surname was the same as her maiden name), and they had four children together: Peter (1858), Jessie (1860), Alexander (1862), and William (1872). These four accompanied Charles and Janet when they emigrated to New Zealand in 1893 on the SS Rimutaka; there is thought to have been at least one other who stayed behind. Arriving first in Wellington, the Buchan party then sailed on to Dunedin aboard the Flora. Janet died in 1915, aged 85.
