This is from the London Gazette 1884 _ I dont know if its the same person. If he married 25 August 1884 in New Zealand Im assuming thats enough time to get to New Zealand - escaping the debtors?

In the London Bankruptcy Court.

Assuming that he was being honest, it should tell you a bit more about William and should list his father and maybe even his mother.

If his parents are George and Ellen then there is a fair bit of UK information about that family line.

Cheers

Thanks for the information - its definitely not the 1799 Harker. He died in New Zealand in 1920.

Edit - oops should have read your post a bit slower!

The 1799 George Harker appears to be William Jarvis Harkers Father and Ellen Loe his Mother.
