The Hugh we had earlier, www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Desertmartin/Rosegarron/1532594/ was discharged from the Royal Navy on 20 June 2013 after 5 years' service. Therefore, a good window for him to show up in New Zealand in September 1913, from Trish's earlier post.

The RN service papers offer a description of this Hugh to compare with what we have from the New Zealand Police Gazette entries.

The RN service papers show that Hugh as:

Height 5' 6"
Hair Brown
Eyes Grey
Complexion Fresh

The other Hugh showed as:

Description: 5' 8. Fresh complextion, black hair, blue eyes and medium nose.

Not too different...
