New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Adoption Papers in New Zealand in the late 1940's.

Thanks Fresh Fields.

I reckon that puts adoption records in the hardest-to-find-&-access category; especially when I have also seen many where common sense and humanity would have granted access but a justice has decided that doesn't fit the 'special grounds' thresholds.

Sorry, not wanting to hi-jack the thread, but Lucy2, Fresh Fields or anyone, can you detail more about WHO is allowed to obtain adoption records please?

I had applied to the court to examine an adoption record, and it was located, but due to it being less than 100 years since birth at that time, not approved.  It is now 100 years since, but the 2 people I was supporting/applying on behalf of have since passed.

Would I still be allowed to apply?  Does it need to be a direct descendant?  Or after the death of the adoptee, are the files 'lost' / 'sealed forever'?

Happy to take this discussion to Private Messages so as to keep it on topic for Jean.

Thank you.

This may be helpful if all other enquiries here exhaust NZ resources?

Apparently he is there as G F Thorburn according to this webpage:  https://www.rootschat.com/links/01qqp/

Have you also seen other online mentions of him?

Ok, so you are saying they have already been searched?

Would a WISES microfiche search help to locate possible occupants in Vincent Street and Miller Street; as these folks seem to have avoided the ER predominantly?

Lucy, wasn't it though the father of Wilfred who lived at Miller Street, Ellerslie and the brother at Remuera?

I guess you could say Ellerslie was Remuera, however Miller Street is Point Chevalier today, or was there another?

Regarding (Caroline) Audrey, as you say she married MANGIN, then it looks like she is the only daughter according to the engagement notice:

Thinking out loud ....

Might John Munro and Elizabeth have ventured perhaps to Australia and had more children?  It just seems odd that they have at least 2 within 2 years, and if Wilfred is one of theirs, then 3 within 3 years, and then nothing.  And if Wilfred is theirs then where is the brother Mr A Munro?
