There is Alexander Wyllie
the former New Zealand All Black and Co All Black Coach. Presently
the Coach of the Canterbury Crusaders in the Rugby Super 12 Competition.
Alex was a farmer by background and lives in New Zealands Canterbury
region (Christchurch) Nicknamed Griz Wyllie we don't know of
his history although a letter has been sent to him requesting
any details he could supply. We have not received a response.
Of course there are numerous
listing for Wyllie/Wylie in New Zealand.
I have business dealings with a Martin Wyllie of Carter Holt
Harvey Industries where he is the Financial Controller. I am
unaware of his background.
There is another Wyllie who is the Company Secretary for Telecom
New Zealand to name but a few.
Worth checking are some of
the unrelated database links provided for the likes of Edward
Wyllie who was a NZ Cavalry Officer or from the Tasmania links
in the Australian Database for Andrew Wyllie & his decendants
in New Zealand. We know nothing of there respective decendants
presently.
