Despite insistence that I change William's birthdate to 1857, he was born 28 Dec 1856. The primary source is BDM which proves that if he was not born on that date, he was registered on that date so obviously could not be born a year later. I have pointed out that it can be checked by everyone on BDM by simply inserting the birth date of 01-12-1856 & end date 30-12-1856.
NOTE: His given name is not given (happened often back then), but neither is his sister Catherine in 1855, nor his brother George in 1858.
* For all descendants concerned, it is not fair to change dates back & forth at the whim of 1 person relying on online family trees. Birth certificates will prove birth/death dates if change is required

William married Emma Sarah Ann Taylor in Pauatahanui 8 June 1878
She was a daughter of Francis Taylor (1826-1897) & Sophia Sarah Ann Corbett (1828-1874)

We regret to hear of the death of Mr William Galloway, of Pahautanui, a well known and highly respected settler of that district. He was a member of the Wellington Hospital Board and had done good service in local government. He was 63 years of age and leaves a grown-up family, amongst whom are Mr Stan Galloway, Ohau; Mrs Harris, of Manakau and Mr Bert Galloway of Shannon. They will have the sincere sympathy of all their friends in their bereavement.
