New Zealand Completed Requests / Owens, John Darlington
« on: Thursday 18 February 21 22:24 GMT (UK)  »
This request is on behalf of my 81 year old neighbour who is not computer literate and partially deaf so struggles to understand phone discussions. She is an only child, has never married and has no children, so effectively the end of the family line.

She has always felt her father was abandoned and it is important to her she find some information on his birth parents and their lives and possibly learn something of their health history.
 
In 2007 and again in 2009 she applied to the Manukau Family Court for her fathers adoption records to be opened. On both occasions she was informed this was not possible.
 
The information we seek is on John Darlington Owens born 09 May 1901 at Puni, New Zealand and for the names of the birth parents.  His mother’s name may have been Margaret Owens.
 
John Owens was adopted on 6 July 1905, when he was 4 years and 2 months, by William Henry Moulden. John’s birth certificate lists William Moulden as his father but has no other information.
 
I know my neighbour would be extremely grateful is any of your members can shed any light on her fathers mysterious background.
 
Many thanks
