  == Biography ==From 'Women in Print' [http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP19210914.2.117&srpos=13&e=10-09-1921-19-12-1921--10-EP-1/ Evening Post, Volume CII, Issue 65, 14 September 1921]: The death of a well-known and greatly respected pioneer resident of New Zealand, Mrs William Nelson, of ‘Waikoko’, Tomoana, (near Hastings) occurred on Sunday. Mrs Nelson was a daughter of the original Bishop William Williams, who came out to New Zealand from England in 1826 and carried on missionary work amongst the Maori in the Bay of Islands. She was born in the Bay of Islands, and for some time during the Maori War resided near Gisborne. She was married to Mr William Nelson some 37 years ago, being his second wife. There were two children of the marriage, a son and daughter. The daughter, who was Mrs George Cotterill, died some time ago, and the son, Mr Lionel Williams, of the firm of Messrs. J. J. Niven and Co., is at present in England. The late Mrs Nelson was of rather a retiring nature, but her kindly and generous disposition won for her many friends. She was ever ready to help any worthy cause. As mark of respect for Mrs Nelson, flags on many business premises in Hastings were flown at half-mast till the funeral had taken place.
