Hi, Heather. I am going to town on Thursday and if I get time can go to the library to look through the fiche for you, unless somebody else has done it in the meantime.

Huia.

If you go to Archway, William's probate (Wellington office???) is there for 1921. It may provide children's names. It seems there was a dispute over the money as well as there is a file in Compensation Court the same year.
