    • Edwin Wheeler was born about 1815, possibly in Berkshire (the LDS website has an Edwin Wheeler born at Hungerford, Berkshire abt 1815 to Thomas Wheeler and Mary. There is also a James Wheeler born to the same parents in 1818). Edwin's marriage to Georgiana Tatham in Greenwich, London 19 Mar 1841 shows his father's name on the certificate as Thomas Wheeler. It also states that he was living in Marlborough, Wilts at the time.

      Edwin deserted his family in New Zealand in 1863 and I have been unable to find his death. [11]
