Thank you Shaun iv not seen that one before, are you able to PM me a link to your finding?

After going back through my interview notes there was mention of Francics looking for gold in the Yukon ( Canada  ??? ) then on to Sth Africa.

Dose this seem more plausible? I'm at the end of my experience trying to find him leaving England and hoping someone here may have a bright idea to help my search.

Well the Yukon gold strike commenced in 1897 so that fits the chronology. Rough living :(
