Hi Rosemary
The 'National Library of NZ' (Auckland) (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service ...they will check their records including elelctoral rolls (past & present) and newspaper death notices -for less common names.

The 'National Library of Aus' (Canberra) also offers an 'Ask a Librarian' service.

Hello everyone,
I'm on a different course at the minute. It's something I have thought of before.
Did Mary take Holy Orders, and in that way 'drop out of society'?
Does anyone know if there are any lists in the UK for people who have done this, especially in the 1960s please?
It is a possibility. We have searched for hard for Mary, and have hit so many brick walls!
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know.

Many thanks
Rosemary :-(

We heard from the Convent in Birmingham, our Mary didn't join the Order.
We have had a breakthrough re the Palm Court hotel.
I will let you know if we have any luck.
But we think Mary changed her name before she married.

Thankyou
Rosemary

Does anyone know please, if a baby can be registered 6 months later with a different surname, other than through adoption?

Thankyou
Rosemary
