[NZ Marriage -- 1896 - William GRAYSON - Emily ROWLAND ]

Am assuming the above marriage is the correct one ?   Later records show that Emily had two other Christian names.

NZ Births -- GRAYSON

1900 - Mary Elizabeth
1905 - John Duncan
1906 - Emma
1910 - Zena Joan
   ... all the above show mother as "Emily Maria" and father as "William" :

The following may also be births to the same couple ?

GRAYSON

1898 - Algernon William George GRAYSON
1914 - Liddell McNain GRAYSON
    ... parents shown as "Emily" and "William" :

From 1914 William and wife are in Far North (Northland district) - and their names are listed slightly differently from previous entries :

1914 - Bay of Islands - Northland

GRAYSON
- Duncan William - Umawera - Farmer
- Ian * Emily Maria - Kokukohu - married

[*  "Ian" is likely a transcription error ?   Although Emily's probate record (1926) gives her name as "Jan Emily Maria" GRAYSON her death record listing shows "Emily Maria" GRAYSON ?? ]

1919 - same electorate - similar details Ian Emily Maria GRAYSON & Duncan William GRAYSON ... but both now residing at Umawera.

[ There is also a George GRAYSON, farmer at Kohukohu on same 1919 roll.  Any relation ?  ]
Edit :  I suspect this "George" GRAYSON might in fact be the son "Algernon William George" born c. 1898 who in 1922 is living at Umawera. ?

I've yet to check the 1922 and 1925 rolls (they take a little longer to sift through) ... but did notice that Emily was still on 1928 roll (even though she'd died late 1925) ?

PapersPast has the following snippet for William GRAYSON of Kohukohu (and I assume this is the same man, the husband of Emily ? )
