Thank you for the information, definitely fits in with what I have long suspected. A distant relative of mine Louisa Jane Neale Udall married a Charles John Greenwood in Sydney on the 10/04/1877 on which he states he is a Batchelor and does not give his age. I have a marriage certificate for a John CHarles ( Charles given as Surname) but his father as Charles Grenhaugen Merchant. He states his age as 31 although in the 1861 census he is 26 and son in law. On his journey to Australia he says he is 25. A man of mystery, I now feel sure that Frances Mott was the first wife of my Charles greenfield and she went onto marry David Hamilton. Who left who? That was was why I wanted to work out when Frances went to New Zealand. As Charles Greenwood states he is a miner did he go off to the gold fields?
Hope that answers your questions. Any other information definitely welcomed.
