New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: NZ BDM

Hi, yes they were all illegitimate, and no it does not state that on their certs, just father NR so I knew they were illegitimate.  So I guess this is the reason and I assume from now on any certificate that has "illegitimate" on it will be in the form of a typed version.

Thanks everyone, it clears up my query.

New Zealand Completed Requests / NZ BDM
« on: Friday 11 October 24 02:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi all. 

I have over the last few months I requested copies of the original birth entries for three of my relatives, 1918, 1919/20 and 1926, however I received typed written ones, which of course does not necessarily give us all the information, and in these cases there is not doubt interesting and relative information. 

I contacted BDM and this is their reply. Has anyone had this experience and have any idea what possible information could or had to be redacted? 
Thanks
Sue

....We have received your query regarding why you received two typed printouts rather than the original handwritten entries. I will address this below:

Legislation has been passed since the event (birth) was registered that deleted certain information collected at the time of the registration. This means the record must be updated into the typed format with the deleted information removed.

It is understandable that you may like to know what was deleted, however it is not possible for us to advise of what was removed. The effect of the legislation is that certain information must be treated as though it was never registered, so it would be contrary to that intention to distribute the information. The typed printout contains all of the information from the original record other than that deleted by legislation.

I hope this clarifies things for you.

New Zealand Completed Requests / NZ Deed Poll

Hi there

I am trying to access 3 records for relatives who changed their name by deed poll approx 1945.  I am trying to access the info via NZ Archives - which is a trial on its own!  I keep getting "status code failures, and then getting locked out of Real me - however can someone tell me if the records actually shows the reason for the name change?

Thanks
Sue

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Historical Child Welfare Records in NZ

Hi there,  I am in NZ and yes this is my tree and my father.  I know the full history of dads life other than from his birth up to when he was put into the orphanage.  We suspect we know who his father was through DNA but whether he knew it of course is another matter!  I am just trying to find any "legal" information on dad through what I would have thought would be welfare/court records as to why/when he was put up for either adoption and why into the orphanage.  I have discovered 3 - 4 of dad's siblings that he never knew he had as his mother had a couple more relationships, which is why I suspect she gave him up but not the others. 
Someone would have had to pay for him to be in the orphanage as well.  I guess I am searching for the needle in a haystack scenario but would like to try and find some info on him as a baby.  Unfortunately all the orphanage records were destroyed in a fire I believe so nothing there either. 
Cheers
Sue

New Zealand Completed Requests / Historical Child Welfare Records in NZ

John Skinner/John (Jack)Gray

Has anyone had experience/knowledge of obtaining historical Child Welfare Records in New Zealand.  I am trying to locate records for the period 1918 – 1932.  I have tried searching information through Archives NZ - which I don’t find user friendly and most records would appear to be from 1927.

My father was born illegitimate in Wellington in 1918 and was placed in an orphanage, I'm assuming from his birth through to 1932.  He was placed in the Willard Orphanage in Palmerston North possibly when it first opened in 1920, however I think he would have been in another one from 1918 to 1920. 

I seem to be going around in circles trying to find where to start.  I'm sure that because he was in an orphanage for approx.14 years with no parent contact and a change of birth name, with no obvious adoption that I can find, he would have to have been in child welfare records at least?

Thanks
Sue

Thank you all so very much for your input.  I found some of this online but was hoping to find any records that might have been kept regarding the births there.  I have tried the obvious places like Archives but nothing to be found.  I will keep searching.
Kind regards
Sue

New Zealand Completed Requests / Nurse DENDER's Hospital, Wellington
« on: Saturday 05 December 20 00:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am trying to locate records or any information on Nurse Dander's private hospital, Marion Street, Wellington.  I have researched online records and papers past but can only find a few birth notices there. 

My father was born there in 1918  and I would like to find further info on it and perhaps records that may have been archived.

Has anyone heard of or know where I could start?
Thanks
Sue
