Histories

Michael/James Bernard Holleron
Michael used his brother's name and DOB after jumping ship, probably in Wellington in 1913. He enlisted as James in the NZ forces and fought in WW1, injured in Gallipoli and returned to New Zealand.
He then eloped with Maggie and they travelled on the train until their money ran out which was at Clive, where they lived for the rest of their lives.
He used his brother's name and DOB on his army enlistment and marriage certificate. Maggie must have known that he was really Michael because she had his name recorded as Michael on both his death certificate and his tombstone.
