Hi everyone

Ruby Mary SWAIN is the person I'm connected to.

Thank you everyone for your help. So far it still looks like Cecilia Margaret LINDHOLD was Ruby's mother. She was definitely born before Cecilia and Frederick divorced.

I have sent you a pm as i have info on the Lindholt's.
Charles was her step father. Her mother Johanna died in 1932

I have info on the Lindholt's

Hello Carol...

Does your LINDHOLT info expand any further the info given by Lucy in reply #27, particularly in reference to Ruby SWAIN's birth. I was looking for her birth but can stop if you've already found it... thanks.

If you're unable to get to Dunedin you can pay Dunedin Archives to photocopy the file and send it to you (usually a charge of at least $25)

Ouch!!! $50 flat fee as of July 1st 2015 for Archives NZ to photocopy a file (probate/divorce/ITM etc)

Regards
Beg

Had found the above info re: Charles Frederick NELSON prior to Carol's posting.
Adding here just in case it's of interest.

Hi Carol

When the "LINDHOLD"  (LINDHOLT) name sprang up, I had been going to also mention Anna Maria, a daughter of Johanna, and sister to Cecilia) who married a "THORNHILL" ( and I'd somehow recalled the "THORNHILL" name cropping up in a previous thread on the NZ board. )

Have just now found that thread from 2012 ... which was yours.   

So, will post the link here ... may save on repeating some info ?
