Hi Georgia

I have a feeling that this MICHAEL family has been the subject of an earlier search in this forum ??
I'll have a look for any mention.


The marriage notice for his son Henry William in 1913 states he was the son of Henry Mowbray MICHAEL, of Navua, FIJI.

Henry Mowbray MICHAEL seems to appear on NZ electoral rolls from 1914 (residing at Auckland).

Edited :   Can't find anything previous here for the MICHAEL family ... think I must have mistaken the surname.   ???

Unknown son is possibly Cecil Kershaw Purdie MICHAEL ?
