Holly G. Clair
Born: 1891 Rockdale, NSW , Australia
Father: James Clair
Mother: Florence
Registration year 1894 Rockdale NSW
reg#29688
On the copy of the Birth Cert for Holly, it would normally give a marriage date for James & Florence, do you have those details and also where Holly was born.
It is unusual that the birth was registered 3 years after birth, does it give an actual birth date of 1891?
Thank you both, On the birth certificate for Holly, the date of her parents marriage was Feb 1893 in Sydney. I have found no such record, howver when Florence (her mother) died suddenly in 1894 when she took Holly ( 3mths old baby) to Auckland New Zealand, no mention of her husband, the personal effects that Florence had on her according to NZ paper records, said that she had marriage certificate on her. This was the way they could trace her father Henry Vardy.Seems like James Clair had already deserted his wife and baby daughter.
