Hi again Dee Had a look on the NZ BD&M - nothing exciting.... https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/ Marriage Search I found - No marriage for a William GROSE 1871 - 1905 Births Search I found - No children born to Father named William GROSE 1871 - 1905 Death Search Registration No. Family Name Given Name(s) Age at Death 1907/6256 Grose William 90Y 1905/8039 Grose William 3W 1912/9060 Grose Frederick William 41Y 1883/5629 Grose William 80Y None of the above fit the DOB of your William GROSE - but who knows who gave the information...? There are a number of Electoral Roll entries for William GROSE in NZ - might be worth checking out to see if they are anywhere near Harriett his sister. Also try to find William arriving NZ. Just suggestions....
