Hi telephonist

The "possible" parents (and siblings) named in reply # 5 are not related to Rachael Madeline CLIFFORD.

In the following Probate file for Mary Annie CLIFFORD you will see that in her Will > at Image 252 > she makes bequests to her three step-children, namely Rachael Madeline MORRIS, Cymbaline CARR and Charles Lloyd CLIFFORD.  These were the children of Charles CLIFFORD and his first wife Annie Elizabeth (nee LLOYD).

Telephonist ... there's a little more info to come .... just managed to "wipe out" a post I had ready to send ... will try again.

Just noting that in the engagement notice of 1939, reference is made to "younger daughter of Mr and Mrs C.H. CLIFFORD" of Naylor Street ... late of Kerepehi.
The "Mrs CLIFFORD" mentioned, will though be Rachel's step-mother, Mary Annie CLIFFORD.
