It appears that Elizabeth came out to Auckland on the ‘Queen Of The North’ [3], arriving on July, 31 1862.  Her occupation is given as servant and she came with three children, James, Andrew and William.  It appears therefore that William came out before Elizabeth to have a home ready for her and the children.  The death certificates states that William was a Lithographer and he died of progressive pernicious anaemia which he had for six years having been in New Zealand for 31 years, which means that he came out in 1861.  He died at home at Woolcombe Street, Wellington.  If the arrival date on the death certificate is correct then based on the Auckland  Area Passenger List 1838-1883, then it appears that William came out on the ‘Gananoque which arrived on 18 October, 1861, there is one W. Wylie around this time period.

During WWII Colin was an air raid warden and he wore a uniform, which June Winchester says looked like a fireman’s uniform.  He was given a push bike – (he had never ridden a bike before); and would go off one night a week on patrol.   Colin would also go to the docks at night to receive the coded messages of the vessels and their cargo which were coming in, which he then de-coded at home from a very large book that simply, just sat next to the telephone.  Colin always said he was far more apprehensive of the ‘wharfies’ than the Japanese.  Colin dug a trench in the paddock next door to the family house in Violet Grove so that if there was any bombing the family could take cover in the trench.  Both Colin and his younger brother Les contributed financially to the household at Severn Street.  Colin died at his home in Violet Grove, East Kew, Victoria.

‘NZ Free Lance’ newspaper [publication date 14 June 1902]

   Mr. A.F. Wiren of Wellington, was born with a quenchless enthusiasm for cricket and football.  But destiny marked him out for the law, and last week he was duly admitted to the Bar.  “Andy” is the son of a Swedish father and an English mother, and it is probable that both were of a modest and retiring disposition, for their son certainly is.  Mr. Wiren, senior, was attracted to Victoria in the days when horses were shod with gold, and nugget were more frequent than potatoes, but not so valuable.  He fossicked on  Daylesford diggings, and started a store on the proceeds.  He racked in gold duct on the Ovens and at Kyneton, when flour was 40 pounds a ton, and sold kerosene in Castlemaine before the beer industry broke out.  *** The nugget “Andy” came to light at Bairnsdale diggings, Gippsland, and when he was four years old his father brought him to Wellington.  He would “play the wag” often for a game of cricket, and if he was “bowled out” by the wielder of the willow-switch, he could always make a good defence, although he had no thought of joining the Devil’s Own then a-days.  He assimilated knowledge at Wellington Wesleyan day school, and enlarged it at the Boys’ High School.  Then, they made a draper of little Andy, and sent him to measure tape behind the counter of Turnbull, Smith and Co., who were afterwards bought out by Sargoods.

*** He was a cricket critic all this time, and he has written many useful things about the game.  His mother believed he had brains, and urged him to study law, and when he went into the wastepaper department of Mr Ollivier’s office, at the age of fifteen, he read bits of legal dry-rot in between the matches.  He was one of the Wellington twenty-two that played a drawn match with the English team in 1888, and he played for the Poneke Club whenever he got off the chain.  He is the keenest sport the Ponekes ever had, and we have it on the authority of the Rugby Union, the ‘whitest.”  He has followed the law with Mr. Olliver, his partner, Mr Brown and their successors, Messrs. Skerrett and Wylie, for twenty-two years, and he showed his appreciation of the treatment of the firm by marrying Miss Wylie, the sister of the boss.  *** He has a young cricketer coming on, in the person of a three-year-old son, and the little chap’s sister, who is older, aids and abets him in his aspirations.  Of course, Andy used to belong to the Rugby Union before he started to “swat” in earnest, and to the Wellington Cricket association.  “Swatting”, however, did not prevent him going to see the test match in Sydney last February.  Finally, if the new solicitor and old sport, has an enemy, let him lodge his complaint.  He would probably require a wearer of silk to win a case disproving Andy’s claim to the title of the “White Sport”.
