Williams, HELEN, HERBERT, SIDNEY
- Bristol
All born in Bristol 1848 - 1851.
Parents were Richard and Elizabeth who came to New Zealand about 1874 when both were in their sixties. Why? It must have been a very traumatic journey. Two of their six children pre-deceased them and four of them were in New Zealand before they made this hazardous voyage. From the death certificates I have worked out that Helen and Herbert died before their parents. I don't know if they died in the UK or here in NZ. I would appreciate help from the Bristol area. Many thanks.
