• Notes

  == Biography == : Evening Post 4.4.1928 p:13: Mr. William Temple Williams, who died at Pukehou, Hawkes Bay on Sunday aged 72 years, was the eldest and only surviving son of the late Venerable Archdeacon Samuel Williams. He was born at Te Aute and educated at Wellington and also at the Church of England Grammar School, Auckland. He married Miss Puckey a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Puckey of Kaitaia and by his marriage had two sons, Messrs. Samuel and Athol Williams, and two daughters, Mrs. Avery and Mrs. Jackson, all residents of Hawkes Bay. For many years he carried on the famous herd of shorthorns established by his father, under the management of Mr. Allen Williams. It was found necessary to dispose of the herd during the war, and after that Mr. Williams turned his attention to the breeding of an equally famous herd of pedigree Jerseys. With the exception of several visits to the Old Country and a stay of some years in London during the war when he and his family did valuable work among the New Zealand soldiers, Mr. Williams spent all his life in Hawkes Bay and carried on the business of sheep and cattle farming, being chiefly interested in raising and maintaining stud stock.
