Matthew writes in the 3 June 2018 email that, William and Grace had four children: Raymond Charles, Hilton, Hazel and Brian William.

To try to determine year of birth and death, a search on the official Death Records on the New Zealand BDM website in June 2018 shows two possibilities:
Died 1945 Reg No. 21579, Cox, William Charles, 72Y [Therefore born ca 1873]
Died 1965 Reg No. 40888, Cox, William Charles, 77Y [Therefore born ca 1888 in New Zealand]
A search on the Internet by Brian of nzolivers.com shows the latter is the correct one.
