I wouldn't be surprised if Agnes had been married before ...  there is a Divorce held at Archives Dunedin 1882 for Agnes Russell. Only speculation, but the ITM should tell us.

Is Charles NELSON, witness in the divorce case, the same person as Carl Frederick NELSON in previous post ?

Why did Cecilia ask him for money when in Blenheim

Hi Signal

Just working on this now  ... yes, the above marriage appears to be related in that the bride is possibly the mother of Cecilia Margaret SWAIN ?

I'm still sifting through other information, will post again shortly.

Yes, Signal ... Charles (a.k.a. Carl) NELSON it appears is probably the man who married Johanne (Johanna) LINDHOLD (1883).   :)

I got the name Beustbolt was the name that my aunty gave me. She has also been working on the tree but also come to a stop there. If that name is incorrect that would be why.

Hi tigerprawn

If you (or maybe your aunt) have managed to arrive at finding your great-grandparents (who you say are Cecilia Margaret and Frederick SWAIN) then, either one of these great-grandparents, must have had a child ?

Can you please give us the name of that child ?

... I seem to recall the reason was given in the newspaper article ... (something to do with the man she was living with, being ill ?? )

.... The supposition is that there was a continuing relationship between Charles and Cecilia
.... in spite of Charles being a witness against Cecelia at the divorce
