Hi again...

The following are the only female births that I could find registered in the Nelson area on the 5th or 6th of October. I've searched 1883 to 1887.

FISHER, Ellen Elizabeth b.1885 - Takaka
NALDER,Bertha Bernice 1887 - Nelson
JAMIESON, Charlotte b.1885 - Motueka
ROBERTS, Lily Pearl b.1884 - Motueka (d.1956?)
TREGEA,Ethel Elizabeth b.1887 - Nelson
TREGEA,Gladys Agnes b.1887 - Nelson

I think they can all be discounted as, except for ROBERTS, possible marriages can be found for them on the BDM website.

Always likely I've missed a birth but there's no way of knowing until someone else repeats the search.

I have an extended list covering 2-4 and 7-9 Oct 1883-1887 which I'll have a look through later. As ever, don't get your hopes up.

As mentioned in an earlier reply, have you tried to find a baptism record. I'm reasonably sure that the birth isn't listed on the BDM website.

I'm less confident that it's not mentioned **somewhere** on a fiche but at the moment I'm not in a position to do a comprehensive fiche search.

Regards
Beg

Hi Simon

*  Have you tried Nelson Catholic Archives for a possible baptism record for Urania ?

It might also be worth a search of school records too which could possibly give a date of birth.
