Kōrero taurongo
- Ohiwa Williams and Waiotahi Rikirangi-Williams had two children, Prince Rikirangi Williams (1924-1984), and Jane Heni Komiti Waihi. Ohiwa and Waiotahi later adopted (whangai) Maraea (Granny Green) and Lesley Williams. Our family never got to meet Lesley. We know he has since moved to live in Auckland.Public - Teena - Direct descendant - 7 April 2025 - Ohiwa Williams enlisted in the Maori Pioneers. Upon joining the Army, he initially registered under the name Ohiwa Tuhorouta, adopting his father's surname. However, due to the recruitment officers' difficulties in pronouncing his father's name accurately, he opted to use Williams as his surname.
During his deployment in the United Kingdom, Ohiwa was admitted to a hospital and subsequently received a medical discharge. Following his return home, he met his wife, Waiotahi Rikirangi, from Waikato - Les Williams, son of Mr Hiwa Williams, Manutuke, and the late Mrs Williams. Les plays rugby for Dunedin's Zingari-Riehmond team and is the first player this season to score 100 points — which is really nothing new as, since 1960, he has scored the "ton" in all but one or two seasons. Les graduated from the University of Otago's School of Physical Education, in 1961. He played for Merrivale, while at Christchurch Teachers' College, and Ponsonby, while in Auckland. After three seasons at the University of California, Berkley, he returned to teach fn Dunedin, last yearPublic - Lorraine M - Researcher - 24 April 2016 - Gisborne Photo News - No 218 : August 9, 1972
