Morning Tony
I came across your thread of messages regarding Parkhurst Boys transported to New Zealand and was especially interested in Fiona Beals's message regarding her ancestor - William BEALS.
William is my 3 X great grandfather too and he was actually the son of Richard and Grace BEELS (nee SEMMENS).
William's grandson (my great grandfather) John Henry BEALS, joined the British Army and I have his marriage certificate, dated 4 March 1911, showing he was in the 16th Lancers and based in Norwich. On the 1911 Census he is shown as being born in Auckland, New Zealand.
I would love to be able to share any information I have with Fiona and was hoping you could pass on my personal email address to her if you didn't mind.
Likewise, I would be only too pleased to let you know of any information I have which you would find useful.
Kind regards
Chris Beal
