Lithgon is right. Not many of them around, I don't think there is one in Australia. It's about as rare as Mentiplay.
you have Ellen Henderson Mentiplay as marrying Edward Kapleyn Gobbitt should read Edward Kapityn Gobbitt
HELP PLEASE

Hello
Mentiplay is an unusual name and it is in my Hay family tree. James married Mary Ann Hay in 1856 in Fife, Scotland, then came to NZ. My query is:- In the Will of John Hay, (Mary Ann's brother who died 1890) Tanner of Inverkeithing, he left James Mentiplay, engineer of Invercargill NZ his gold watch and gold chains. I would be interested to know if a descendant of James Mentiplay and Mary Ann (new Hay) knows anything about this gold watch. I am just putting 'meat on the bones' if you like.
Many thanks
