Hamilton James Wiley b: 1845 Wellington, NZ d: 1917 Utah, USA

Hello Group Members,
I am wondering if there is a way of finding out if Hamilton James Wiley (mentioned above) travelled back to NZ with anyone of his sons before 1917?
Joseph Orson Luther Wiley 1891 NZ-1959 Utah, USA
Rudolph John Wiley 1898 NZ-1930 Utah, USA
George Veenman Wiley 1900 NZ-1982 Washington, USA

Or if any of the sons travelled back to NZ alone around 1924/25?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Isabel

Hello

New Zealand passenger lists can be found at the FamilySearch.org website.
[Added:  They may not necessarily contain lists of persons travelling from USA.     Prudent to also check other spellings of surname - e.g. "wylie"   ]

Does the following article relate to the WILEY family you seek ?  (*  see last paragraph )

Only just noticed .... you've mentioned in your topic heading that Hamilton James WILEY died in Utah, USA in 1917  ??     Is that year correct ??  Added :  see later post re: death notice
[ You've next asked if he'd travelled back to NZ in 1924/25 ??  ]

Here is the death notice, published in a New Zealand newspaper,  for Hamilton James WILEY - died USA 1917:

Q.      So does that make your question about him travelling to NZ in 1924/25, redundant ?

Happy to help if you are needing further information for this family (or other).

Hi again 
... not sure how much info you already have for this family, so adding following in case it's of interest.

https://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE11257436

^  Above is link to the NZ Army file for namesake son of H J WILEY - although son's record (and some electoral roll entries and other items) show he was also known as James Hamilton Walter WILEY.
The NZ birth index reveals an 1881 birth registration (however on NZ Army file his d.o.b. is given as
"1 - 6 - 1887 " ) :
This man married as James Hamilton Walter WILEY in NZ in 1917 to Eileen May WILTON.    He died in NZ on 21 November 1931 and is buried at Masterton.
