Hi Edesearch,
happened upon you post when researching the birth parents of my grandmother Nancy Shields/Sisam.
My mother obtained pre-adoptive birth certificate and a copy of the death registration for Agnes Shields from Internal Affairs back in 1998.
Nancy Shields was born 26 May 1920 to an Agnes Shields who was 39 yrs at the time and subsequently adopted by Fanny Jane Sisam.
According to her death registration, Agnes Jean Hogan as also known as Agnes Jean Shields died 24 Apr 1952 in Auckland. Her mother is listed as Elizabeth Dickinson and father as Abel Dickinson.
Two marriages are listed:
Albert Ede at Whangaroa age 16 yrs. 1 male child age 55
William James Hogan at Paeroa age 27 yrs. William James Hogan also commonly known as William James Shields. Two male children ages 49 & 46.
Seems your Agnes Ede nee Dickinson may be my natural great grandmother.
Beg Clonrode (reply #8) appears to be correct about the remarriage
