Thanks for that link Althea - very helpful information about what Archives holds.  I'd looked for an inquest in the newspapers but I hadn't thought about trying to get the report through Archives.  It looks like they're all held in Wellington, and I'm there in early July so I'll have a look.

From the lack of information on the death certificate, I'm not sure the report would have much more identifying info, but I'll try anything.

... aaaaand ... ditto the info on the marriage certificate, darn it!  He's definitely William John on that, no age, no origin, no parents, nada!

It was quite a buzz to see his signature in his own handwriting though  :-)
