Hi Bernard, Could he be Helmer William Seeling who died 13 Aug 1913?

thanks Sam and Helen for reply.My GGF was ''allegedly''34 in 1874 when he sailed to NZ on the Woodlark.His name was William Seeling.There is a WS in the 1771 but wrong age by a mile!He in turn is not on 1881!I reckon he might have been German as I have found lots of "Seelings'' who are described as German born but UK citizens!!!
