If you purchase the marriage certificate ref 10a 269 Q4 1868 Auckland it will show William's father and his occupation and will be a starting point for search on 1851 & 1861 censuses |

It may have been a mistake by the enumerator. her father may have just said her name and she is my daughter so she was put down as Coles. her status is ticked under unmarried. May have just been general confusion on how the questions were asked . |

Just had another look again at the censuses for Robert and see now that he was a wool manufacturer, so it looks like I've been researching the wrong Robert Gill Thought I'd cracked it - Don't know where to go from here |
