My mother was born to a woman called Diane Hutching in 1961. The adoption certificates give conflicting information, but what's certain is that she was adopted out almost at once.
Based on DNA test results I believe my family background may be significantly different to what I have been told, so I am attempting to trace Hutching back, and hopefully find the names of her parents and where they were born. I've attempted to use family search and Ancestry with little success.
Here are the facts that I know:
1. Her name was Diane Gail Hutching. She was 18 in 1961, so that gives a birthdate of around 1942-3.
2. She gave birth to a child at a maternal home called Fairview or Fairleigh in New Zealand in 1961. On further research, Fairleigh was a Hospital specifically catering for Unwed Mothers. However, it was a private facility, so her parents likely paid for her to stay there. In these circumstances, and the oddity with the birth certificates, I am not entirely sure whether she consented
3. At some point, she married and gave birth to Two daughters.
That's all I know.
