Hi Michaela
This gentleman changed the format of his name at various times thru' the years.
In the South African War he was known as: #7868 Charles Frank Stanley BURKE and was in the 9th Contingent.
In WWI on the Cenotaph site (Auckland War Memorial Museum) you will find him listed as: Charles BOURKE 11/852
In the BDM online he is listed as: Charles Francis Burke STANLEY, he died in 1918 aged 38 years. (details of his death are on the Cenotaph page, WWI entry)
In a card-file held at Archives NZ 'Non-War Graves' created by the War Graves Commission his entry is shown as: Charles FA STANLEY-BURKE, 11/852, WWI; died 14 Nov 1918 at Dunedin; aka BURKE-STANLEY Charles FA
I haven't looked for his wife/children but I would guess it means you should start looking for them under Burke, and then move on to the other names if you don't have any luck. It's highly likely that his wife remarried.
Best wishes
