UK request for help - Charles MYERS

[Fresh Fields]

Well done. Michael should be pleased.

Thanks for all this extra snippets, which certainly fill in some ancillary family data and also seem to indicate the existence of two daughters of Charles and Ellen Myers who we didn't know of before. I certainly understand that progress will be limited until lockdown is eased; position is just the same here in the UK, and almost certainly worse.
But - those were the days, when you could put a notice in the papers that you were going away on a cruise; hardly the thing to do in this day and age, unless you wanted the burglars to clear the house for you.

If his age was correctly stated, Jacob was born about 1873.

Jacob. 

Great find Minniehaha. I thought "Jack" too casual so had been looking for a John, not thinking of a Jewish name.

Do you know who Charles MYERS siblings were? Our National Archives hold files that could be of people closely associated with Charles, and been another reason for his presence in NZ, and following that Australia. The same Jewish Surnames, in association keep cropping up, especially in trade. There is also a  Maori War file in the name of Samuel MYERS for instance.

There are records of a Samuel MYERS, unlucky in love, and involved in Animal bi-products and the wool trade on the West Coast and across the Tasman. He also had links to the MYERS of Nelson, and if I remember correctly, one of the enlisted in the Malitia signed on in Nelson NZ.
