EALHAM Descendants? COMPLETED

[Emrose]

I can't find any EALHAM'S listed in the  NZ White Pages but there must be descendants of William and  Alfred, who came to NZ in the late 1800's from Lincolnshire, out there.  Some married names are: MARSHALL, HARTLEY, WAKELIN, SPARKS, McKINNA, BERKELEY.  All and any info gratefully received.

Hi Emrose
Would it possibly be Ealem. There is a few in N.Z. white pages.

Where did Bill and Alf settle ?

What are the first names of the married people and their connection to Bill and Alf ?

Or is this just a cast to find if any relatives are reading this ?

                                                     

[Emrose]

It's a bit of both actually!    Both men settled in the Christchurch area.

The descendants I am looking for are from their daughters' marriages.
Enid Maude Ealham married John Berkeley Wakelin
Margaret Florence Ealham married Walter Kimber Sparks
Eunice Fraser Ealham married Harold Gladstone McKinna
Margaret Ogilvie Ealham married Stewart Neil Marshall
Nola Janet Ealham married  Jack Richard Hartley

The Ealams in the phone books are relatives, all accounted for.

You could get the certs or find where they are buried in ChCh and get the date of death from gravestones or funeral homes. 
Then get a film copy of the local  paper,  Christchurch Press ? at the library for those dates and see all the notices in the paper.
