COCKERTON  Levi  Sergeant  1st Waikato Regiment 

How can I find more information regarding this individual  ?
Is it likely he stayed in New Zealand after the war.

Hi Teresa - I found this ....... !!

New Zealand 1863 - 1864

The Waikato Militia comprised four Regiments. This database is an alphabetic list of men who enlisted in Australia in the years 1863 to 1864. It lists the regiment (1st - 4th), regimental number, place of enlistment and calling.
A small number of Australians enlisted in New Zealand and for these the place of birth is given.
