Duncan had been a weaver, but, unable to find work in his trade, he became a shepherd on the station of Mr George Bruce on the Maniatoto Plains. Jane, who had been a very efficient dairymaid in the old country, would catch and milk wild cows, selling the butter to the diggers in the district. Later, when the family moved to Whare Flat, Jane was a typical farmer's wife. She was very hospitable, and any wayfaring person passing her door was always invited in.
