Welcome to rootschat

I am afraid we will need more information than that to be able to help you  ;)
Was he married when he came to New Zealand
Did he come to New Zealand with any other family

I see you have also posted on another thread
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=766339.msg6422582#msg6422582
On there you mention your grandfather as James William Ambrose Lewis.

I am looking for a William Lewis and AMbrose Lewis ,they lived in a work house in 1871 Forest Gate .,William was b in 1864 ,and AMbrose b in1863 he died in1873 .

M y grandad James William AMbrose Lewis arrived in New Zealand ,I want to know if the William and AMbrose could be a connection to the William you r looking for .Cheers Collene From NZ

What is the known connection to Ambrose Lewis who you mention in 1871.  He is admitted to the workhouse in 1868 from 1 Queens Place with William 13 & Alfred 11  :-\

Hi

Just to say that if he was born in Bangor, that would be in Caernarfonshire not Denbighshire.

There is only one registration showing near that time in Bangor:

Q4, 1854, Bangor, vol 11b,  page 452
