Talk:Robert Wynn Williams

Article name
In 2013, Robert Wynn-Williams published a book about his great-grandfather Henry Wynn-Williams, a rather outspoken lawyer and politician from Christchurch. The assumption that the subject of this article is related wasn't a very outrageous one to make, and it turns out that this person was his nephew. Having read a few things about the Australian politician, I note the following facts (with page numbers referring to the book):
 * Pages 164, 187: The name of the mother of the Australian politician was Jane Lloyd (1832–1914)
 * Page 15: It was his uncle who first added "Wynn" to his surname. It is not clear where this originates from, and it could either refer to the old-English word for 'friend', Welsh for 'fair', or to the Reverend John Wynne who had baptised Sir Charles Williams (Henry Wynn-Williams' elder brother).
 * Page 15: The Australian politician's father also changed his name and added 'Wynne' to his surname. He was subsequently known as Robert Wynne Williams.

I see that Robert Wynne Williams (i.e. the father) had quite a career in Auckland, New Zealand. I shall check whether he meets notability criteria. Meanwhile, I shall expand this article when I get a chance. I'm sceptical of the subject having been born in Christchurch, given that his father lived in Auckland.
