Oh Darn, has someone looked at the BDM fiche already for you? If not I would be willing to go through them to see on the chance if I may possibly find something, It would take some time of course, but I'm looking to try and find someone anyway, so if you would like me too, you can message me

I have just come across this and wondered if you know about Derek Griffis private collection -
I found it via the newsletter online of "Waikanae Family History Group News"

ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS These situations arise all the time so we were quick to remind members about Derek Griffis’ 25,000 plus database of names, assembled by Derek from Police records, has proved valuable, proved a surprise to many, proved there were family members we did not know about and some we may never find. Having been with Derek when he showcased his database in recent years it has been fascinating to see the reaction of some members when his data revealed a new find, an exciting find – one female member at one meeting performed a new dance, she was so excited about her find. Derek can be contacted here at Waikanae on ^(*) or you can look him up in the phone book. All births of this nature were reported to police and included the fact that unwilling males were called upon to pay maintenance of “7/6 pence a week” for example.
Hope this helps, Good luck in your search
