Do you have the death certificate for Sarah WOODGATE nee CUMMING. It would ask for "years in NZ" which would be useful.

Can you please list all the details on the 1889 marriage certificate that you have....details for bride, groom, witnesses, name the church, any addresses etc. etc.....everything.

"Phoebe Alice Newell............married Harry Evans in Staffordshire on the 31st March 1902.
Witnesses were George Evans (Harry's brother) and Phoebe Alice Newell - who was she?"

And the bride and a witness have the same name?

From the marriage certificate can you give again the name of bride, groom, and two witnesses.

"..The only documents we have are the formal, legal adoption papers, numbered, registered and signed by the people involved at the time."

Can you scan the pages and post them here please.

Do you have the adoption document?.  If you do not have this document, you need to get a copy so that you can respond to the questions being asked here.

I can find newspaper mention of Alexandra Home.

Reading several articles, it seems to have cared for, among others,  births to unmarried women.

This is my understanding -

Caroline had a daughter in 1912 in Wellington.

Daughter was adopted

Adoption document includes  the age and birthplace detail about Caroline.

Using this detail, the family of Henry Richardson has be identified to be her family, and is now being researched. 

I am asking for more information about the adoption document, and specifically the detail about the Brighton, England, birthplace, because the origins of this detail are important.

Can you give more detail about the information on the adoptation file . Does the  " Caroline 27 born Brighton   " 
look to be contemporary with the original file...added later...same handwriting.......witten in ink, pencil, ballpoint pen...
Can you give all the name, date, address details on the adoption file, without identifying your family.

What  is the name of the hospital where your mother was born. Wellington hospital for unmarried mothers is not finding anything on an internet search. If it was a hospital for poor woman, but not exclusively unmarried women, Caroline might be a married woman....living in defacto relationship etc. Age 27 is rather older than average for first birth in 1912 so possibly earlier births for Caroline. What age was baby at adoption.

I am confused. Can you please clarify what notes were with the adoption papers, all made before the adoptive parents died in the 1960s


Option #1
 "Caroline Richardson, 27, born in Brighton, England. Have ordered her birth certificate and read the entry of her birth in a handwritten register. Her father was Henry (bricklayer) and her mother was Catherine (née Batt). Siblings were Frederick, Albert, Kate.

I am reading this to mean all the above was recorded before the parents died ie. someone was researching Caroline.


Option #2
 "Caroline Richardson, 27, born in Brighton, England.

This was recorded before the parents died.

And subsequently, as part of your research, you -
Have ordered her birth certificate and read the entry of her birth in a handwritten register. Her father was Henry (bricklayer) and her mother was Catherine (née Batt). Siblings were Frederick, Albert, Kate.
