John Wildermoth 1826 was my great grandfather. He and his wife, Sarah, are buried at Timaru, New Zealand. He was a policeman.
My grandfather was Michael Joseph Wildermoth, one of John's sons. My mother was Beryl Ellen Mary Wildermoth, one of Michael's daughters.
My mother always said that Wildermoth was a German name, but none of us believed it. Perhaps it was.
I have become interested in the family since it is 100 years since John Layton Wildermoth was killed in the war on Gallipoli. John was the son of Michael, the brother of Beryl and therefore, my uncle. My daughter and I are going to Gallipoli in October to acknowledge what he did for us.
