I don't know her birth date.One of his sons Archibald John was my grandfather born in Wairongomai Te Aroha, died 27 June 1928 age 40 buried in Waihi, Married Mary Ellen Wilson, died 13 December 1970.My father Elvwin John (known as Ebb) was born in Waihi.Born 25 July 1915 died 9 December 1982 Married Joan Esther Hartwell.Born 25 May 1924 Died 27September 1982Dad hadbrother and Sister.His brother Archibald was killed in the World War II in Alexander Egypt.His sister Mary is still alive.I am the youngest in my family.Both my mother and Father my 2 brothers and sister were all born in Waihi.George is the eldest then Glennis (which i think you have had some contact with) then Bruce and the myself.
Waihi has a street Roycroft Street Named after William.We also have a large part of the cemertary.
