I've got a marriage certificate for Florence Gaucher who married in NZ in 1898 at age 20. She was adopted in NZ I think but born in Jersey, Channel Islands. Her birth mother was Susan Le Maistre and birth father was Arsene Marie Gaucher (if I've read the hand-writing correctly). There is mention of her in NZ in 1887 (age 9).
I've no idea how she got to be adopted in NZ so am trying to find out about her birth parents.
Please contact me if you have ideas to share.
Kind regards,
Ann Everett
