Annie Maria Williams died Nov 27 1921 aged 72 years. John Henry Williams died May 19th 1932 aged 91 years. I cant remember the plot number but the grave is in good condition as we as a family had it restored.

My Grandfather Herbert Williams father John Henry Williams first came to Nelson Creek prospecting but then returned to Australia and married Annie Maria Jones in 1870 Melbourne. They returned to Nelson Creek and John Henry set up as a Butcher raising a family of 12 children. John Henry and Maria are buried in Greymouth Date of Photoca 1949Map^[1]ContributorMurray Ellis

Date Created6th July 2020CommentsMeagan Williams William Carse and Catherine McGrath married in 1920. William's sister Martha married Herbert Williams in 1918 and they had a daughter Roberta Williams who married Norman Bruce Frederick Ellis in 1940. All found in bdmnz. I assume they are all in this photo. Is Murray the son of the latter?? Interested to see if our families are connected?

Jean Mehrtens Bill (hat) and Catherine (spotted dress) had Kathleen Alice Carse in 1922 - kneeling on the right. My “t’other mother” as my DH just called her - my adoptive mother. Their house was opposite the mine bins nearly on the east side of the main road.

Meagan Williams That's so cool. Thank you Neil. Did you happen to know who Herbert's parents were? Did your parents live on Preston rd at all?

Jude Smail Meagan Williams yes meagan, they lived third from the corner, next to marg and tommy wright

Pauline Schafer I remember Roy and Joyce, they were very kind to us, the Green family, when we visited.
