Looking back I see you say that Rosetta may have been adopted.

Do you have her parents names as I may be able to find a marriage year on the 1848 to 1956 NZSG marriage cd


the only parents i have for rosetta louise are Leander Johnson and Sarah Annie Wagner..


Have you  got  the marriage certificate for Rosetta?  did she marry  in Australia or Nz and whereabouts did she die please  see they both died in  Bowral NSW

you guys have come up with some incredible info, here!

i've applied for a birth certificate with the NZ BDM.. and apparently if she was adopted, that's ok, because they can come up with a pre-adoption cert as well.

I indeed have the marriage certificate for Fred & Rosetta... it lists Rosetta's parents as Leander Johnson (dec) and Sarah Annie Waggon. Though i'm 110% certain that i've seen her Death Cert as well (it's managed to go missing) and her mother was listed as Sarah Annie Wagner.

Rosetta's Death Cert also states that she was Born in Auckland, NZ. Which lends more weight to the theory that she may have been adopted if indeed Leander & Sarah came over from the UK.

I spoke to my nan again today, and she says 'the whole family was involved in shipping in Dora Creek' so I'm thinking this family may just be the right one. However, how everyone ties in together is another issue.

just a few more things to think about

Just wondering if you applied for a printout from BDM NZ as it would contain more info than a certificate.

Did they find it in the years  you had in one of your earlier replies

Haven't done much searching for your Sarah Annie today but will have a good look over the next day or so.

Do you know who Sarah Annie Waggon (Wagner) parents were.

I have looked to see if there was anyone with the surname WAGGON but there are none.

Will keep looking for you
