Michael was born in Glasgow, Scotland and when he enrolled in the 3rd Waikato Militia in Dunedin on 18 November 1863 he was 24 years old. His Regiment Number was 1146 and he was a Private. Michael stated his occupation as an engineer.
From the book 'Plough of the Pakeha' by Beer and Gascoigne ? "After leaving school at the age of twelve, Michael became apprenticed to Randolf and Elsom, shipbuilders. On completion of his apprenticeship he worked his passage out to South Africa and tried diamond digging near Durban, but without much success. Gold prospecting was then much talked about and New Zealand was often in the news. Michael found work on a cargo ship bound for the Australian ports and the South Island of New Zealand. After riding out a storm for nearly a week off the present town of Timaru, he was landed on the beach.
"It was while looking for work near Timaru that he and Archibald Clements heard of the impending Waikato war and read a poster calling for volunteers. Both decided to enlist." Archibald and Michael farmed side by side on sections 1 and 2 on the Hamilton Road just out of Cambridge. On the Cambridge rates assessment list for 1869-70 Michael paid 2 pence an acre on 51 acres - totalling eight shillings and sixpence. In November 1872 Michael enrolled in the Cambridge Cavalry Volunteers and attended the twice yearly drills until 1879.
'Plough of the Pakeha' also records, "Returning to his shack for his mid-day meal he [Michael] was surprised to find that the small back window of his dwelling was open. He approached cautiously through the uncut scrub and was in time to grapple with a man coming out of the window backwards. The intruder had with him a well filled sack which was later found to contain Michael's kitchen utensils and also the contents of his frugal larder. In the struggle the man slipped a sheath knife from his belt and Michael, feeling the struggle going against him, called loudly for help.
"Mrs Maguire, across the way, lost no time in covering the distance to Michael's whare and, with considerable vigour, set about belabouring the intruder with her broom." Mr Maguire, Arch Clements and John Arnold soon arrived on the scene and the man was trussed up and secured to a tree until the constabulary arrived. Michael received 50 sovereigns from the police as it turned out they had captured an escaped convict, James McCabe, and had him sent to the Supreme Court in Auckland 21 August 1874.
On 7 June 1876, in the Catholic Church in Hamilton, Michael Hanlin married Susan Swayne when he was aged 32 and she 22 years. They had three children William, Alice and Eliza. Susan was the daughter of John Swayne, an Imperial soldier who had been farming for ten years on the opposite side of Hamilton Road.

In World War One he served again and returned home with shell shock. He died 24 July 1948 and is buried in the Returned Services Association cemetery at Hautapu.
Alice looked after William and Eliza as well as teaching the piano in a small studio in Lake Street opposite the Town Hall. Alice and Eliza died within a few days of each other in July 1967.
