Born in Canongate, the eighth of eleven children of William Hook and Jane (nee Kent), Minnie, as she was mostly known, was married before she was twenty to William Thomas Adair at St Joseph's Cathedral in Dunedin, the groom by then forty one. Together they produced a family of eight, the first two born in Dunedin, the next two in Australia when they lived at Pyramid Hill during the last years of William's parents' lives with them both passing away in 1909. The family returned to New Zealand where two more children were born in Dunedin and then they moved to Lumsden with the last two being born there. William passed away peacefully in June 1919, after a very long and painful illness of twelve months. This sad loss of husband and father was followed by the death of their youngest child almost two years later. Minnie had some help from her mother, Jane, and others too one would hope, but it was only when her children were grown that she married again, in November 1930. John Wight Wilson was her second husband and they lived in Gore, Petone and Wellington. John passed away in 1964 and Minnie in 1968 around the time of the terrible storm in Wellington which resulted in the sinking of the Wahine.
