I know this is a long-shot - but I have been trying to trace ancestors on my dad's side. My grandad was married as William Charles
Dunn (30) to
Amelia Kate
Rhodes (18)in Ngaruawahia in 1896. Their first son, William Charles was born in 1897. Now here is the mystery. The birth certificate says the husband is William Charles
Dunn Olliver, and the mother is
Amelia Kate
Olliver. None of the other children born (there were 10) have this
Olliver mentioned, except my father(number five in line) who had
Olliver as his middle name.
Grandad's marriage certificate says he was born in Inverness,
Scotland but my enquiries there have reached zilch! Even mentioning his parents name.
Methinks there is something very odd about that first birth. in 1897. I would really like to hear if you know af any relatives bearing the Dunn/Rhodes/McGulvin names.
Thanks-Brenda
