Note 		A marriage PRINTOUT ‏(not certificate)‏ will give you specific date and place, and may also confirm bride and groom's parents names etc.

Note 		That 3 children were born in Gisborne even though Jocelyn lived in Hastings is understandable given that her parents lived there.

Shared Note 		Family story has it that Katherine was adopted INTO the family.

Government records clearly show that she was BORN to Jocelyn as were the other 3 boys. Based on other scenarios this family researcher has seen ... it may be that due to Jocelyn already having 3 children under 5 ‏(or being ill for a while prior to her passing)‏ that she could not cope with the newest member of their family; and that Katherine was fostered out to another couple being brought back in at a later date? The older brothers being very young at the time were perhaps not aware of this having happened at all. Then Jocelyn passed away young, and depending on when Katherine re-joined this family the boys may still not have realised or simply have never been told she was their full sibling.
