I am looking for the ancestors of William Harry Williams, Maybe Henry. Born in Wales Abt. 1835. Married Naomi James B.Abt 1840. Emmigrated to NZ. Attached is their Golden Wedding photo in Wellington 20 March 1911.

fantastic photo (do you know who is who? ;D)
There is a record of them marrying in Newport (Monmouthshire) district in March Quarter of 1861.
Do you have them on the UK census in London for 1861 and 1871? (Just so I know its the right family did they have Mary, Frank, Emily, Alice and Naomi all before 1871?) and did they leave the UK before 1881?
They give his birth place as Newport, Monmouthshire and her birth place as Livon Avon (or something like that), again Monmouthshire.

Thank you all for your responses.
This will help me greatly. I was told by my father that Harry was a "Sailmaker". His Daughter Naomi Jane was my grandmother. Yes I can name everyone in the photo. On my "Keltie Family" website I have the same photo posted with my Keltie side of the family named. I could name everyone else if someone was interested.
