William Alfred was the really peripatetic child of Thomas Harborow and Martha, emigrating to New Zealand in his early 20's and founding the 'New Zealand Inksons'. He did return 'home' for a visit in 1904, aged 45, with Mary and two of their children [Alfred and Veronica but not Monica, their oldest; the others were not born at that time].

Alfred Joseph William married Margaret Shiela Ryan in 1948 when he was already 48 years old. On the fateful day of 23 May 1957 they were driving to the family farm at Waipara to the north of the Canterbury Plains with two of their young nieces in the back of the car when they were hit by a train at the level crossing entrance to the farm. Both of them were killed but luckily the children survived.Born: 5 Apr 1900 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND Died: 23 May 1957 - Waipara, NEW ZEALAND Veronica Maud INKSON Born: 16 Feb 1902 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND Died: 11 Dec 1972 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND Paul Anthony INKSON Born: 16 Aug 1905 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND Died: 15 Mar 1966 - Waipara, NEW ZEALAND Bernard Thacker INKSON Born: 30 Jun 1907 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND Died: 19 Jun 1978 - Rangiora, NEW ZEALAND Margaret Mary Eliza INKSON Born: 21 Apr 1909 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND Died: 25 Jun 1995 - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND
