Thanks Elaine, very much appreciated.
It would appear that the William & Margaret referenced by you arrived NZ with Hector & Margaret? on Jumna, October 1864. Sister Sarah throws me a bit. Perhaps they arrived with Hector and Sarah, not Margaret or perhaps Sarah came later.

But they need a son, Charles Joseph ALCOCK as William and Margaret are listed as his mother and father on Charles' marriage certificate in 1919 in Auckland (Charles was 47 and a widower at that time).

I'm not sure if we have the same William & Margaret ALCOCK.

Sarah appears to be daughter-in-law.

Hector Jason Alcock married Sarah Ann Mann in 1878
Charles Joseph Alcock married Sarah Ann Dickens in 1893

The death is recorded of just one Margaret Alcock.

The location of Northern Wairoa matches the rest of the family.

I believe you are missing a generation.

Neal Roderick Alcock was born 25 August 1925 and died 2000.

Thanks again, Elaine. This really is a puzzle.
Charles Joseph Alcock was definitely my grandfather, and my father was Neal Roderick Alcock. Charles was his father but I've never heard of Sarah Ann Dickens.
I have the marriage certificate of Charles Joseph and Hilda Mary Moore in 1919. Charles was 47 and Hilda was 22.
I'm guessing that Charles had a first wife, Sarah Ann Dickens and to that marriage, a daughter Nurse Camwell because there are no Camwells in our family.
Dad told me of his father's death at Mamaku when he was about 10 and I have visited the gravesite.

Again, Elaine, do you have anything on Charles' parents, William and Margaret (Featherston)?
