An interesting snippet re John Mallory GRAYSON appears in the 'Poverty Bay Herald' dated 4.1.1901.

It concerns selection for the Sixth Contingent and gives the weight, age, height & chest measurement for John Mallory.

The 'Poverty Bay Herald' has a number of advertisements about the sale of BUSHMERE FARM and household effects of Mr. T. H. GRAYSON between the dates, 22.12.1900 and September 1902.

See in particular article dated 29.12.1900 which gives a description of the farm.

William Duncan GRAYSON is proving difficult to find.

There is one possible marriage, 1896, William GRAYSON to Emily ROWLAND.

As both Thomas Henry & John Mallory lived in the Poverty Bay region it is possible/probable that William settled there too.

The 'Poverty Bay Herald' dated 13.12.1899 mentions William Grayson of Gisborne, settler.

Also from the 'Poverty Bay Herald' dated 2.11.1906, "For London, Mr. W. Grayson per Ionic, leaving Wellington on November 8th.

Perhaps William dropped the use of his second Christian name?

[A puzzle: Reply #3 mentions the baptism of William Ness GRAYSON. Could this by some stretch of the imagination actually be William Duncan?]

Hi again

It seems that William GRAYSON, on several occasions used the name William Duncan GRAYSON (more particularly for electoral enrolment), but otherwise was known as plain William GRAYSON.

[I'll post electoral details shortly. ]

The 1881 UK census information (given earlier in this thread) indicates that William the brother of Thomas and John, was born about 1876.

I believe that the following NZ death is for the same person.

1951 - GRAYSON - William - 75 years   [bc 1876 ]

                            Burial and other info, to follow     > >

It appears that William GRAYSON married twice (on the second occasion, shortly after the death of his wife Emily).

The burial details for William (Jock) GRAYSON and second wife Katherine D'Arcy GRAYSON, can be viewed at the following link >

http://www.newplymouthnz.com/
>  click on the "Council A-Z" then  "cemetery and crematorium search" link

                                         continues next   >>

Edit:   oops ... I'll re-check that website  ;D
