Can anyone please help with more information on the Wille brothers which emigrated to New Zealand form Norway?

Kristian/Christian Wille was born in 1965. He is said to be a farmer at Willsborough Ohura. In 1922 when the father died the address post office box 1165, Auckland appeares in the proclamation. He was allegedly married 2 times to a Violet Wille and one unknown. One of them was nee Ferguson.

Brother Markus/Marcus Marius had in the same proclamation the address Tehora, Poryrua. That's all about him.

They might have anglicized their family name

Markus Marius used the Wille surname in the 1885 Norwegian census as well. Born October 15, 1871. (Link)
Brother Christian was born on Feb. 6, 1865. (Link)

The father, Jakob Andreas, could be a relative of this cleric and politician with the same name. There seems to have been several individuals with this name, and possibly more than one at the time whem Markus Marius was born.

Probably all old news; here is Christian's Geni-profile.
