Hi Slowhands

Wow, thank you for all that information. I will have to print it off and arrange it on a page so that I can get my head around each generation. My brother will be particularly interested because he knew Uncle Bill as a father.

It would seem that Uncle Bill was not Welsh (not that I remember him ever claiming to be) except that he was born there. In fact his birth in Pontypridd seems to be the only mention of Wales in the history you have described. I assume the family were in Wales for work.

Dymock appears quite often, so I need to follow up on that, and Jefff's information about it will be most helpful.

Thank you once again.
John

PS BTW, I didn't know that NZ Census records were searchable - I will have to follow that up. I note that he is shown as living in various census areas in Wellington until he moved to Kapiti on his retirement(Kapiti is the West Coast north of Wellington). As far as I am aware, his home was always the same place; just the census areas were re-named.
