Biography
On 19 September 1860 Thomas Alexander Franklin was born in Nelson to Mary Anne Hurren and Robert Benjamin Franklin. [1]
On 28 August 1884 Eliza Askew and Thomas Alexander Franklin were married. [2]
Their children were Stella Beatrice Franklin, Leslie Franklin, Roy Philip Franklin, Robert Melvin Franklin, Thomas Allan Franklin, Eunice Maud (Franklin) Glendinning, Eunice Maud Askew and Ray Alexander Franklin.
Newspaper report [3]
On Wednesday a Nelson wife deserter named Thomas Franklin, alias Wiliams, was remanded. It appears his wife was recently confined, and a woman named Tulberry came to nurse her. A few days after Mrs Franklin's child was born her husband, accompanied by Mrs Tulberry (who is a widow) and her two children, went aboard the Tairaroa, having taken tickets for Timaru. The wife gave the alarm, and the Timaru policemen went down to meet the happy pair, but of course they were not to be found, and enquiries being made, it was discovered they had landed at Akaroa. Franklin is only about twenty-five, the woman Tulberry being some eight years his senior. He had only been married a year.
On 8 June 1944 Thomas Alexander Franklin passed away, aged 83. [4]
