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

Eliza Mahon married  :  Robert Alfred Wills  :  03 MAY 1895   Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand
 
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,

Another variation of above
