I have found WW Smith's parents names on his marriage certificate.
They are William Smith and elizabeth Nestwood.

WW smith emigrated to New Zealand with his family sometime before 1885 as he marriage Eliza Burgess 25 Nov 1885 in Taratahi New Zealand.

Can anyone please help me to find anything else out about WW Smith and when he and his family emigrated to New Zealand?

thanks
Ann :-)
