We have a question from Lee-Ann, is anyone able to help?

Hi
I was looking for information on Wilhelmina Sophie Eggers married to Charles Percival.
On the Nelson museum photo collection, I found a photo of a Miss Eggers and child taken about 1874 in Nelson. Looking at the age of the women it is not Wilhelmina. Could it be Maria (Mary) ? Does any one know who she is?
