I have been taught mid head top to bottom should be mid eye. I find following your steps top half falls short. Am I wrong or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.

All good. You can substitute whatever proportional breakdown you want at this point. I find this is best especially when working from views other than straight on.

My temporal plane, the elliptical or circular shape I get from hair line tempel and nose line is always out of wack. Not a neat circle or ellipsis
any advice would be great
It looks like your proportions between the brow and chin (eg for the nose, mouth etc) are actually OK, it's just that all of those together are not proportioned correctly in relation to the skull sphere. On this drawing the chin line just needs to be a lot lower... from estimating, I'd say maybe about level with the lowest line we can see of the sphere (the very bottom curve that connects with the neck line). I think, if you lined the chin up to that and kept the brow where it is then the proportion of the rest of the features (when redrawn) would be about right.
