"..Nancy was adopted when she was 2 by Fanny Jane Sisam"
Can you give some details about this please.

Was there a formal adoption..........documents etc.

[Kathy7]

Hi there,
Thank you for your info.
Nancy was adopted when she was 2,
Here is her birth certificate.
I have seen the adoption papers, but I wasn't allowed copies at that time, I had to read it at the courthouse.

Hello.

Have made PM contact with Kathy7 offering to look up and photograph, any Auckland Archives held files that are available for viewing, and that she thinks worthy of her attention. Hope to be back there before the end of the month.

Alan.

Hello Kathy7

Do you know, or can guess at the identity of GillyR who submitted the headstone photo. Could be a closely related LIVING family member.

Privately approaching that person may assist with your enquiries.

Alan.

I could message them though
Thanks
Kathy
