Francis John Hill

M, #14983, b. 1834, d. 1895
Pedigree Link

Biography

Francis John Hill was born in 1834 in Norfolk? ENG died aged 61.1 He died in 1895, at age ~61, in Auckland, NZ.1
Francis John Hill was a custom's officer.1 My knowledge is far from complete. My mother's, father's father (my great grandfather) was Francis John HILL. He came from Norfolk in England and died, at the age of 61, in 1895 while living in Auckland. His wife, Kathina Magdalena PAHL came to New Zealand leaving Hamburg in Dec 1842 and arriving in Nelson in June 1843. I don't know when Francis John and his family arrived in NZ but it seems most likely to be in the 1840s. He was a customs officer in Auckland and later in Nelson where he met my great grandmother.

I shall file your email, it may well be that I have forebears who came on the Jane Gifford. I believe that on this voyage it arrived in Auckland but that is only from something I heard someone say, not any proper research.

Thank you for getting in touch.

Regards,

Keith NZSG #19732.
