William was born about 1822. He passed away in 1871[1][2].
He married Elizabeth Congdon on 18 Feb 1857 at All Saints Church in Howick[3].
According to a newspaper article on the death of Elizabeth, he was an ex-naval man and acquired a property at Mangemangeroa Bay, and also operated a trading cutter around the coasts of the Hauraki Gulf. That same article writes that he arrived on the Minerva but I don't see him in the 1847 passenger list.[4].
