Can someone please help. I am doing this for an elderly friend. Victor Bernard Portman born 1891 Sydney. I am trying to find out more info on his parents. Bernard Portman and Frances Auroa Emperor, they married 1888 NSW, On Victor's WW1 Army records his father is recorded as Sir Bernard Portman. We were told he was born in Victoria, but I cant find his birth. Also that he was part of a wealthy family in the UK, but unable to prove any of this. We would love any info on Bernard and Frances, where they were born, parents etc. We do know that they both came to NZ and have died here. Certificates dont give names of parents. Would appreciate any help, many thanks.
