Charles Frances could easily have been "Swedified" to Carl Frank in the Swedish birth records, later anglified to Charles Frances when he emigrated to NZ...

Thanks Tommy, that's a helpful hint.

I would rather "translate" Charles Frances to Carl Frans, but Carl Frank is also possible.

I have an information that Harriet Ellen Philips was born 11 jun 1853 in Wainuiomata, Wellington, duaghter of John Philips (1803-8 Jan 1867) and Catherine Turner (29 May 1803-21 Feb 1867), both born in England.
I dont know if that is correkt, but it's worth checking.

Torgny this is correct. This is his wife and he married after he settled in NZ. The problem I have is where was he and who was he before he arrived in NZ.

I think the birthdate may be the key but we are not sure exactly where he was born. Thankyou for your interest.
