Small world - (I'm following this thread as I'm the person who left the thread about searching for a William Paul ex Scotland - hoping to find his arrival into NZ). Your William, in Palmerston is not mine, but as I live in Central Otago, I am happy to photograph the grave for you. If you receive the grave details, please post here and I will pop by the cemetery next time I'm in Palmerston.
I'm now wondering if the William Paul who arrived on May 11, 1865 is my one? I have one of his brothers (Walter) living in Auckland and another brother (George) living in Otago, so not sure where he would pick to live. My William (born 1824) is from Dunbartonshire (father John Paul, mother Ann Filshie) - last 'find' was the 1841 census when he was listed as a tailor's apprentice.
Palmerston is not too far from where I'm living, so happy to help another Paul family member
