• Notes

  From "The Walkleys" booklet: He immigrated to New Zealand earlier than the Ward family and met them family at the wharf on their arrival to the country. The Wards lived with him on his farm for a couple of years after they arrived in the country. But actually he was born in New Zealand. His father Frederick immigrated. This seems likely to be the same George Skipworth that is on page 29 of http://www.genealogy.ianskipworth.com/pdf/skipsjohnhalton.pdf In which case he didn't immigrate but was born in NZ.
