Misc. Notes
Name when researching a “Cottier” family connection for Simon Perry as per email correspondence dated 15 December 2020 where I wrote:

Birthdate: June 04, 1845
Birthplace: New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand
Death: June 13, 1910 (65)
New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand
Immediate Family:
Daughter of Richard Grylls and Mary Ann Grylls
Wife of William Cottier

Sister of Eliza Jury; Charles Grylls; John Grylls; Harriet Ann Leedom; Richard Grylls; Eliza Black; Amelia Grylls and Emma Loveridge
Simon was trying to trace a DNA connection to his grandfather who had a son with Nola Gray:
https://nzolivers.com/tree/wc05/wc05_194.htmlSimon is the great-grandson of Ernest Henry GRAY and Frances Maud ANDREWS. He is the grandson of their daughter, “Nola Ailsa Gray”.
Date and place of marriage from screenshot of phone message sent to Brian from Simon Perry on 14 December 2020.
This Mary Jane Grylls married “William Cottier” and Simon wondered whether one of their their son’s “Henry Cottier”, (who had pubs in Inglewood), sons, “Eric” or “Cyril” could be his grandfather?
This theory for Simon Perry’s grandfather has since been discounted as at July 2022. Eric Cottier or Cyril Cottier
is not Simon Perry’s grandfather. For further information on Simon’s research, please see details for Mary’s husband, William Cottier.
