Hoani was born on October 15, 1908 in Waikare, New Zealand (unconfirmed). The New Zealand Birth Index has his birth listed as December 1908. However, this record contains births for the October/November/December quarter and the source only shows extracted information not an image of the record itself so it’s possible his birthday is in fact October 15.
He married Sophie on September 26, 1936.
He died on July 30, 1976.
