A close relative of William contributing to WikiTree has posted this about his death: "June 17, 1936 in Okuti Valley, Banks Peninsula, New Zealand". That's four years earlier than the Geni (unsourced) date though only a few kilometres away. Any documentation?

According to BDM online 1936 is correct. It would be interesting to see what is on his headstone or see a death certif.
I'm a descendant, gg granddaughter,of William Flower Blatchford and Agnes nee Manson. I am researching relatives buried in St Peters Graveyard Teddington. My Mum married a Gebbie g grandson. Do you have any info to add?

The above confirmed. See also papers past 23.6.36. The date of birth is probably correct-as fits in with other family members birth order. Prob age incorrect. He may have only been 84. Not bad for farmers of that era!
