You seem not to have actually read the info posted...................which includes parental details and immigration date

Your best bet is to order the birth cert.......on line from the GRO, it will cost you the equivalent of GBP 9.25, inclusive of postage

That will give you Charlotte's maiden name, which those of us helping have so far been unable to determine

Rosemary, do you think any of the information posted is connected?

Thomas Landeg died in NZ 1929 ... Date from death record and his obituary notice

There are so many early marriages re Charlotte Williams same with Elizabeth and Thomas.
As Thomas Landeg Williams probate is in NZ Archives at Wellington .. says he was a boatman on there... you can write/e-mail them and they will send you a copy of it.. think it costs $20NZ...

It reads as though you have to order it to view it at Wellington but I asked them sometime ago about overseas requests and they said they would send files by return e-mail etc.
