	So they all went to New Zealand in the end :-D Thomas and William went to Australia first and must have gone from ther to NZ I don't think that William Love ever married between 1881 and 1891 if ever at all, perhaps he put married as he was living with Elizabeth Hopper. Why I wonder did Elizabeth seem to abandon all her children who would all have been very young when their father died. What an interesting thread. Can we find bmd for New Zealand?

	There is a tree on Ancestry with loads of info on this family including. Photo oh Elizabeth Hopper and two of her son Charles Homewood. Chales seems to have changed his name slightly to Harper. Is marriage cert is attached to the tree. Everything fits parents, MMN, dates occupation but all as Harper Tree also says that Elizabeth had another child Leonard in 1893 (very imaginative name as he was born in St Leonard's, Hastings) wonder when Elizabeth left William Loves home and if he was the father. Births Sep 1893 (>99%) Hopper Leonard Hastings 2b 49 In 1901 this child was boarding with a widow and her daughter surname Adams they also had two babies with different names as boarders. Leonard was still with them in 1911. I think he married Rose Clark I 1919
