There now remains only one survivor of the 1856 band of Pitcairners—Mrs.

A photograph and article dealing with these two old Pitcairners appeared in the “P.1.M.” of June, 1934.
Miss Edna Charlotte, eldest daughter of Captain and Mrs. Low, was married to Mr. Archibald Boulton, second son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Boulton, at Suva, Fiji, recently.
