Hello Jan
You are truly a wonderful person!!!!– I really didn’t think that I would ever be able to get that information --- I have been chasing “Joshua Sanctuary Williams” wife’s name “Ivy Osborne” for over 30 years!!!Also some of the other information that you gave me I did not have before. Especially about the Wills. From family records I knew that he had managed a farm for an Uncle “Mr C. Osborne at one stage.
Thank you for the offer to copy the details of Sir Joshua Strange Williams from a book “Cyclopaedia of N Z Otago/Southland edition, year 1905”, but as I have quite a lot of information about his life, plus an out-of-print biography of his life --- I will spare you that chore. He was born into a well-known legal family. His father “Joshua Williams” (was tall ---measuring 6 foot 4 inches) was a legal expert andBarrister and University professor who wrote a large number of books and articles about the Law.
I am enclosing what I know of the family so far --- I would love to get any more information about other members of the family if possible. I have added in the information that you so kindly sent me.
Anyway thank once more
Regards
Don Hargreaves
