Trying to find out what ship and any other details for William Williams who came from Shropshire to NZ about 1856.  His sister Ann (my GGrandmother) came to NZ in 1875 with her husband and one child and settled in Oxford.  I have no idea where he settled and wondered whether it was out there.

I’m confused, you seem to know all about him:

“William Williams a labourer 44 years in NZ when he died (came to NZ in 1856)  He was 39 when he married in Christchrch,  Samuel Cecil Williams signed the death cert. lived in Linwood 6 daughters at his death, 13, 17, 19, 25, 36, 38 sons 26, 39, 21”

I don't know whether all of these children are from the family you are researching. [I note wife Sarah was actually Sarah Ann, according to her death notice]. You may get a lead on the ship by researching family members through "Papers Past".......

Hi Jamjar

I am specifically trying to find out what ship he came on, whether he settled in Oxford and who his children were.

I don't have any of that information. Nor can I find him in the 41 and 51 census at all although I can find his sister Ann and other family members.

There is also this associated topic on the Shropshire board.....

Do you have his death in NZ?

Cheers Janette

I’ve been looking at the male/female children as mentioned on your initial post.

Based on their ages, on his death certificate, I have come up with these living children, all with parents Sarah Ann and William. The only male born 1861 I can see has no christian name recorded.

Girls

1862 Alice May
1864 Isidore Maude
1875 Ann Hunter
1881 Nellie May
1883 Aimee Fredrica
1887 Audrey Evelyn Cooper

Boys

1861 not sure
1869 Samuel Cecil
1874 Alfred Francis
1879 William Horace

Only assumption, of course.
