Note that the second given name of “Grove” does not appear. It is interesting to note that Charles’ mother travelled to New Zealand after the death of his father and his mother remarried in New Zealand when he was 6 years 5 months old to a “George Grove”. Janet and George Grove had two children born when Charles would have been 11 and 15 years of age respectively. Did he informally ‘adopt’ the surname of his step-father?
