The only other references I can find for him is a Public Trust notice calling for creditors or people with claims against his estate

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19251024.2.7.8?items_per_page=100&phrase=2&query=daykins&sort_by=byDA

and his probate
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99GW-476J?i=90&cc=1865481

Mentions his brother,James as a beneficiary
