Also located this on www.familysearch.org. appears WELLS surname is mispelt. There may be others that you reconise a connection to.

Annie Elizabeth Wells born 1870,Dunrobin, Otago, NZ, Parents: Mr Wells. Mother: Mrs Wells ,Married.John Robert Bradshaw Born 1866, Dunrobin, Otago, Married 1891, Dunrobin, Otago,

Annie Elizabeth Wells was born 1859 in Nelson ,NZ...married John Bradshaw from Pilling...lived on a farm in the Dunrobin area and had 13 children...they farmed there for nearly 26 years..John died 13th sept 1904 suddenly... leaving Annie to battle on till 1907..when the farm was sold up...their dream coming to an end..my grandmother was one of her children...I have recently located the exact location of this farm and are now trying to locate their original farm dwelling to see if I can find any evidence of the foundations..I have some great photos of the beautiful land they farmed with care...it is still gerished by the owner today.....Annie lived to a grand age of 92yrs and is buried in Temuka,SI of NZ. I have much more info.if required,that was just a brief outline. Chris Howes...a Great Grandson of John and Annie....
