Ernest Henry [Harry] Wilson (1883-1955) m Alethea Dawe (1880-1955) at St Mary, Timaru, South Canterbury, New Zealand. Timaru has been built on rolling hills created from the lava flows of the extinct Mt Horrible volcano, which last erupted thousands of years ago. The result is that most of the main streets are undulating, a clear contrast with the flat landscape of the Canterbury Plains to the north. This volcanic rock is used for the construction of local "bluestone" buildings.

Arthur John Wilson (1885-1961) m Millicent Daisy Isabel Nickalls (1896-1984) in Wairoa, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
Early settlement in the area included a whaling station and trading post, dealing largely in flax. The town rose to prominence during the New Zealand Wars, during which time it was a garrison town. In 2016, Rocket Lab announced that it was establishing its Orbital Launch Site (known as Launch Complex 1) for its Electron Vehicle on the Mahia Peninsula. The first test launch was in May 2017. The Electron vehicle is capable of delivering satellites into Low Earth Orbit.

Arthur Wilson

In 1951, Arthur visited England on the MV Warwick Castle.
This ship had originally been the Pretoria Castle, requisitioned in WWII and converted first to an armed merchant cruiser, and then to an aircraft carrier. She was the first ship landed on by an aircraft with a tricycle undercarriage (a Bell Airacobra Mk. 1), by a glider (a Slingsby T.20), and - in August 1946 - a Gloster Meteor. This last was less than a year after the first jet landing on a carrier (by a modified de Havilland Vampire on HMS Ocean). After WWII, the ship was sold back to the Union-Castle line, reconverted, and renamed.

Its name comes from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh.

Colin Edgar Wilson (1893-1916). Colin served with the 2nd Battalion of the Canterbury Regiment, New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He was killed on 21 September 1916, at The Battle of Flers–Courcelette was the third and final general offensive mounted by the British Army in the Battle of The Somme. It attacked an intermediate line and the German third line to take Morval, Lesboeufs and Gueudecourt, which was combined with a French attack on Frégicourt and Rancourt to encircle Combles and a supporting attack on the south bank of the Somme. The strategic objective of a breakthrough was not achieved but the tactical gains were considerable, the front line being advanced by 2,500–3,500 yards and many casualties were inflicted on the German defenders. The battle was the debut of the Canadian Corps, the New Zealand Division and tanks of the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps on the Somme.
