Does anyone have a Mary HAMMOND in their family? She was born in approximately 1861 in Nelson.
She had a daughter in 1893 in Wellington when she was 32 years old and this child was given up for adoption.
The only information on the natural birth certificate was her name age and the fact that she was born in Nelson.
The adopted child was my maternal grandmother and I would be delighted to tie her in to a family.
