  • Name Samuel William Chandler 
    Born 03 Aug 1865  Otahuhu, Auckland City, Auckland, New Zealand Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • The copy of the registry entry is unclear. It shows Mary Ann's name as Maria Ann.
      It shows the occupation of the father as being with the 18th Royal Irish Regiment.
      The second Christian Name (William) was omitted from the original birth entry
      The informant was not either parent but another soldier. The copy is not clear enough to identify this person (see below).
      There is also doubt over the birth date.
      Information from Lyn Hughes of Auckland:
      Samuel Snr was in Taranaki at the time registration should have been made and it seems likely that he asked C/Sgt Doig of the 14th who was possibly returning to Auckland to enter the birth for him. He was probably given the correct details which nay have gone astray and he did his best with the information. The date we have was taken from Elizabeth Sarah's Bible which we think is more likely to be correct(29 July 1865), however the official date of birth must be 3rd August as the entry states. Also one name given then although I think he was meant to have two.

    This photo was taken in Petone. Samuel and Mary moved to Wellington in 1870 and Samuel died in 1877. It is likely therefore that the photo was taken during that period.
