I believe his parents were Arthur Joseph Thomas Anderson and Tarakura Niu. I am looking for the names and dob of the children born in New Zealand to Arthur William
Anderson and his wife Raima.

I can see one birth, a boy called George.
The year of birth is given as 1978 which is clearly a mistake since such recent records are not on line. It may be a typo for 1918?
Parents Arthur and Raima.

Researching:
Weedon - Australia, Hertfordshire; Paterson - Scotland; Elmer - Huntingdon; Ball, Lloyd, Warren - Birmingham; Branson - Bucks;

Her is a link to a story about Andrew Anderson son of AndrewJoseph Thomas Anderson etc and presumable brother to your William Arthur

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL
