Hi Daymon

Albert Wickens is my Nana Hazels Father, (My Great Grandfather.) I have a picture of Albert as a young man in a family portrait, with his parents and brothers and sisters. Its in very good condition and I would love to share it. I have also read of him in a book on the Wairarapa, he is mentioned as the blacksmith in Featherston. His looks are distinctive in some our family still. I'm researching all my lines so I may have a other info you need too. Regards Natalie
