Nancy Shields/Sisam

[Kathy7]

I am looking for any information on my grandmother born Nancy Shields on 26 May 1920 in Auckland. Her birth mother was Agnes Shields aka Hogan, maiden name Dickinson.
We have vague information on who her father was, but we were told he was a wealthy Auckland businessman.
Nancy was adopted when she was 2 by Fanny Jane Sisam, a widow who had looked after Nancy since birth.
I welcome any info you might have
Thanks Kathy

So Agnes was married to a Mr Hogan, but using the name “Shields” - is that right?

Has she been traced before and after Nancy’s birth?

Hi, yes Agnes was married to William James Hogan, who also used the name Shields though they did separate, it's not clear when as they never divorced.

Looking at your whereabouts I take it this is Auckland NZ rather than Auckland, Co. Durham? If so you may want to get the thread moved to the NZ board.

[Kathy7]

Sorry yes Auckland NZ...I will try figure out how to do that, thanks

You can use the “report to moderator” link at the lower right hand side of your post to request a move to another board.
