Reasearching: Henry Mowbray Michael

[Lucy2]

Mmm ... I see you have given slightly more information re: births in Fiji and the marriage of H.M. MICHAEL in Fiji. in your other current enquiry on the MICHAEL family.

It might be helpful for those trying to assist you here, to add this extra detail to this thread, also.

Georgia  ... do you know where these MICHAEL sons were born ??

Do you maybe have a marriage certifcate for the MICHAEL son you descend from ?

I have modified my post to include years and birth places. Thank you so much for all your help everyone. This is amazing.

Hi Georgia

A "google" search just now took me to enquiries / replies, "MICHAEL family in Fiji" placed at Ancestry.com message boards.
Not sure if you are one of the participants in that discussion ?

Somebody has said "Henry Mowbray MICHAEL" was born in India (Goa ??) ... and was of Portuguese descent ??

Thanks, I have contacted the person in the forum who has made that comment about Portugal. That is very interesting. I cannot find anything further on Henry Mowbray Michael. Perhaps his last name was different before. I have just ordered his death certificate on NZ bdm. Will see whether that has his parents on it.
