Still searching for Henry GELL/GILL b Sutton on Trent 13 June 1820

[kiwicatz]

This man was my great grandfather. According to his army enlistment papers, he was born 13 June 1820, Sutton on Trent. He was a member of the 65th Regiment of Foot, enlisting in 1843,  and went to NZ aboard the JAVA, arriving in Wellington in 1849. They fought in the Maori Wars. He was Discharged to Pension 30 Sept 1859, and married my great grandmother, Christina McKenzie in Auckland 02 Aug 1866.
According to his death entry his father was named Thomas and was an Exciseman - and apart from someone suggesting his mother's name was Thirza that's all I know.

Would so like to discover his family.

I have attached his wife's death cert if that has any clues, also copy of Henry's death registration.
Regards
Jan

Thank you Kay
I had forgotten about this, and was using a borrowed computer from a couple of days after I made the original post. I hadn't seen the replies, probably I was too concerned about trying to save things.
Maybe this is him. I lost my photo's of his army records when I lost the computer so can't refer to them anymore.
