Hey there! 
I am also following up on my family history. Arthur Sylvester Hoffman/Puckering is in my family history.
What I have found so far it:
Arthur Sylvester Hoffman born either 1884 or 1885. He had three children, Frederick Reginald Hoffman (1912?), Arthur Sylvester Hoffman (1915?) [to make things simpler, I will refer to him as Arthur Jr.) and Horace Livingstone Hoffman (1918). I have the birth certificate of Horace, and possibly Arthur Jr.
On Horaces birth certificate, it says that his father - Arthur Sylvester Hoffman - was born in Christchurch New Zealand. However I have not been able to find anything more on this.
Arthur Sylvester Hoffman had his three children with Blanche Hoffman (formerly Meale).
Arthur Sylvester Hoffman died in 1963 at age 79 of carcinoma of the stomach. He died in Western Australia. (Death certificate 103584J/1963) and was cremated on the 4th December 1963.
Arthur Jrs birth certificate number is 51512/1915. I found in the National Archives that Arthur Jr served in the military, enlisting in 1939. He was held prisoner of war on possibly two occasions, and also A.W.O.L once. He was eventually discharged as he was medically unfit (due to a head injury he received).
Arthur Jr married Marjorie Joyce Goman in 1941.
If you have any more information about the Puckering/Hoffman/Hallidays, I would love to know more!
