I am beginning to research my fathers family history and looking for information on an Amelia Violet Jackson born in NZ in 1903. She married a Michael Henry O'Leary in 1926 in Timaru and they went on to have 9 children incl my father Robert Henry in 193
Would like to know where Amelia was born (it may have been the West Coast of NZ) and how many children she and Michael had and their birth dates and names - There was a Violet and a Peter maybe a Michael.
