Hi MMHosto

I see you have recorded on your tree, Robert CUPPLES and Annie Matilda SHERWOOD as the parents of the aforementioned adopted children.   ???

Just curious (again)  ;D about why you have come to that conclusion (in view of the fact that you're now seeking the "birth"  father (fathers).  ?

Would be great too if you could share any other relevant information with us.  :)
[Saves us looking up a lot of extraneous info which can be very time consuming. ]

From what I can see, Robert CUPPLES (b. Antrim, Ireland c. 1839), wife Jemima and one infant son, arrived in NZ c. 1863.   First NZ-born child in 1866.

*   Do we know when Jemima CUPPLES and (presumably) some or all of, her children departed New Zealand for Australia ??

*   Did Annie SHERWOOD step in as housekeeper to Robert CUPPLES before or after Mrs CUPPLES' departure to Australia ??

Hello again Mollie Maloy Hosto

Here is a link to the obituary of Alexander (Alex) CUPPLES, the s/o of Robert and Jemima Jane CUPPLES who sadly died aged 34 at Melbourne, Australia on 1 September 1910.

Hello Mollie Maloy Hosto ... welcome to RootsChat.   :)

Just for starters, I am adding the link to the Probate file of Robert CUPPLES because as well as containing his Will > which names his natural and adopted children > it also contains a copy of his New Zealand Death Certificate, which somewhat oddly in my view  ???, gives as his "living issue"  as  ....   7 males ... and  5 females (that includes those who were adopted) :     

So, in effect, it is indicated, that Robert is the "birth" father of all of these children.   

   ~  Lu

It is my understanding from personal experience that once a child is legally adopted they become the "issue" of the adoptive parent.
There is no facility on a death registration for a FD to state birth or adopted only the number of issues.

Cheers Janette
