Mary Patricia Wake
« on: Monday 22 October 18 20:28 BST (UK) »
Hello. Mary Patricia Wake was born in NZ, most likely at Rotorua, on 24th May 1924. Her mother was Agnes Veronica Wake, born in England in 1900 who emigrated in c1922. The father of Mary is unknown but may have been a young man from a well-to-do family. Agnes and Mary went to New South Wales in 1925, where Agnes married Frederick Shields. Does anyone have any information?

Yes, that is Agnes arriving in 1922. What happened after that is more mysterious!

You say the birth was "most likely in Rotorua"  does that mean you don't have the birth certificate?

Hello. I thought they could not be accessed after 1918.
