My cousins mother was Dorothy Joyce Douglas. Ive asked my cousin if his parents were married and when.

My cousin was told the stories about his father by his sister. He said they kept the family history from him.

Im speculating that Howard Stratton also known as Eric Adcock/Stratton was the illegitimate son of Francis Rivier. Perhaps adopted by George Henry AdCock and Adelaide Ellen Howard.

I searched the New Zealand BDM site for Eric Adcock and Eric Stratton turned up

Coincidence?

DNA isnt showing me any good Howard matches in a scenario where Francis had a child With Adelaide

It seems to be more than a coincidence. The politician I mentioned earlier was born in Bowden, South Australia and emigrated to Christchurch, New Zealand as did Adelaide Ellen Howard who married George Henry Adcock
