I have also published an article on Wikipedia on the NZ Timber Museum. If you have more information about Jane, ideally with verifiable sources, I'd be interested to learn more.

The front and side glass are gone, and several of the birds are "falling off their perches"! It used to have another kokako in it, also a kakapo. I was outbid at an auction by someone in Aus who wanted those, but was willing to sell me the rest.

A few months ago, I purchased in Australia a damaged case of stuffed birds that was indeed prepared by "Mrs WJ Yandle in Auckland in 1866" (at least, I think that is the year - the handwriting is a bit ambiguous). Included is a Nth Island kiwi, a kokako, and many other less rare species. But, there is also a quail.

I have just started doing my family tree & I have also been trying to find her grave & haven't had any luck.

I found in the death notices that Jane died 29 November 1915 at her daughter Mrs White's residence at 65 Wellington Street, Ponsonby, and was buried at Purewa. Husband William James died 14 December 1922, private interment, but his notice included the following note: "Passenger ship Percy, 1866...
