Notes for Hester Gane
Lived in Wellington. Kate called her Esther Gain, although I think this is just a transcription from what Kate said, and thus easily misspelled.
According to the Marlborough Express, 30 September, 1882, they had a daughter on that day. No name is given, nor any other details.

Notes for Walter (Spouse 1)
He appears in the Wainuiomata Settlers’ Roll, and Kate has some recollections of him, but I don’t know too much.

morning, evidence was taken on both sides in an action brought
by W. BURTON against J. DEMPSEY to recover the sum of 100

promissary note of W. NORGROVE, his brother-in-law, in respect
to the purchase of the plaintiff's farm at Wainuiomata. His

to be reduced to one shilling if defendant endorses the note
within seven days. Mr OLLIVIER was for the plaintiff, and Mr
BRANDON for the defendant. The following cases were adjourned:-
