Annie Wilson (Thomson)

Annie Thomson was born in NZ in 1875, the third child of Alexander and Janet (Mundell) Thomson both of who were born in Scotland. She married Robert Wilson in 1900 and they had three children Eileen (1904 ), Dorothea ( b. 1906 ), and Muriel ( 1908). Sometime after they were married they opened a general store in the township of Hampden in North Otago and then some years later moved to another store in nearby Herbert. They then took up the general store in Outram on the Taieri Plain just South of Dunedin. Robert died in 1929 and the family continued running the store until 1934. Annie then lived for various times with each of her three daughters until she died in 1960.
