Hello again.
Two points from the initial post, appear to have been overlooked in some reply's.
#1 Year of adoption is assumed as 1935
#2 Interested party to the adoption information is NOT the adoptee, but an offspring thereof, who does not have the same entitlement provisions, to access B D & M records of adoptions.
Historic Birth records are governed by the 100 year rule, when it comes to general enquiries, and the time given for the adoption is 1935.
Assuming it was of a new born, or young child, it was born on the edge of the Great Depression, where even well established families, found themselves caught up in the domino effect of collapsing businesses, and legal niceties re official records, and Court orders, did not always happen.
If the person whom you are enquiring for is prepared to publish a NZ province where they feel such adoption may have taken place, local knowledge may come into play with where you may seek additional information. There are still 90 year olds around who's early memory is still quite sharp.
We are rapidly gaining a large data base of old primary school attendees rolls which could be of assistance.
- Alan.
