William was my father's great grand uncle. He and his siblings came to New Zealand with their mother after leaving the Orphan School.
(Their father, John Smith, had abandoned the family and their mother Mary went to track him down.)
They settled in the Otago region of the South Island.
I am still researching to try and find out more about William.
