My Nana's mother Ada Flintofft came from Rotheram, North Canterbury, New Zealand. Nana was born in 1909 in Christchurch out of wedlock when her mother was aprox 20yrs. Her mother struggled at such a young age to look after her and she ended up being brought up by a foster mother. Her mother worked at the Van Ash School for the Deaf and kept in close contact with her. I'm not sure if she met her father but she told me his surname was Danielsson and he was also from Rotheram. My Nana lived a full life and passed away in her 102nd year in 2010. (JOHN HERRETT kagyukiwi@gmail.com)
