Thank you all so much for all this information. I guess my next step is to order his birth certificate. :)
Yes he did die in NZ. He was my husband's grandfather who died in the flu epidemic.
I haven't long been doing this side of the family so it is great to have this help.
Cheers :-)

Update with help from the IGI
HEZEKIAH JOSEPH DAVIES

Marriages:

Marriage: 18 OCT 1870 St Peter, Hereford, Hereford, England

Looks like groom was named after his father, also HEZEKIAH ( whose marriage to HEZEKIAH Jnrs mum also appears on the IGI)

Hi,
I'm trying to find an exact date of birth for Caleb so I can finish a tree I am working on. He was born in Hereford UK.
Many thanks :)
