On BDM the first marriage of Albert Henry Crossley in 1900 was to Christina McLeay (Mcleary?) BDM Ref 1900/2579
Christina died in 1901 aged 35 years - making her DOB 1866
There is a birth record on BDM for a Christina Ann McLeay in 1866
1866/25662 McLeay Christina Ann Ann(mother ) William (father)
CROSSLEY.-On May 20. 1901, at her late -residence, Towai, Christina, beloved wife of Albert Henry Crossley, aged 35 years.
New Zealand Herald, Volume XXXVIII, Issue 11695, 3 July 1901, Page 4

Here is the Papers Past reports re Christina's illegitimate child - followed by a disclaimer :))
You might need to get the marriage cert for Christina and Albert Henry to confirm the names of Christina's parents.
A charge against Alfred Carvosso, of being about to leave Auckland without providing for his unborn illegitimate child of which Christina McLeay was the mother, was dismissed for want of prosecution.
Auckland Star, Volume XXIX, Issue 18, 22 January 1898, Page 2
Personal.
THE CHRISTINA McLEAY who is concerned in a maintenance case in the Police Court is not the daughter of Wm. McLeay, of Hackett-street, Ponsonby.
