That was quick. As the thread was quite old I wasn't sure if there would be any action. Yes! We are distant cousins.

You are right. I did not know that half the family left Gloucester for New Zealand. As I was stuck with a very dodgy 1911 Census record for my Henry I had 'stuff all' until the last two weeks. It was if the family were dropped from outer space for a brief period of time. I am yet to find anything for the 1901 census, and cannot find my Grandfather, George's details anywhere. A frustrating business.

The Philip info I have is also what you have discarded. I put that aside with a big question mark as I could not confirm him. Obviously, I need to cast the net wider.

Will contact you off list about records and other information.
