Thanks for all your help, yes it has helped heaps, now I need to get the birth certificate for Fanny Wells that hopefully will shed some light. I wonder if it gives me the nationality as in where the biracial heritage comes from, then I will know that I am probably on the right track.

The fustrating part is that I have almost nothing to go on here in New Zealand.

Surely the informative posts on the thread have helped with some possible explanations.

Could you please attach a photograph of Fanny ie if you have one.  Save the photo to your hard drive, click on Attachments and other options below the post you are entering, then select the photo and Post.

Hi yes information very helpful, no she married George Davis in 1910/12 in Wellington, NZ. So she would have immigrated to NZ in early 1900, s. She then went onto have three boys, one of them being my husband's grandfather, none of them are alive and they never spoke of their heritage.  I am waiting on a copy of marriage records for her
But it appears that she may have changed her name to Frances Somewhere along the way.

There is a good photo which I am in the process of getting hold of so will post that as you suggested, thanks for all you help so far. Sorry to sound vaguess,  but haven't got much to work on.

The following is about a Mr William WELLS from the USA who married an INDIAN and was made a Justice of the Peace by A Territorial Governor "OHIO" (later to become the US president William Henry HARRISON)

It may be worth checking to see if any of his children were possibly named "William Henry Harrison WELLS"?
