My grandmother is Kahutoroa Taiawa/Pohatu/Morgan.

She passed in the 80s. She married Matewai Pohatu in 1929, divorced him in the 60s, then she cohabited/perhaps married Hihi Morgan.

We have an old pension certificate that has Rangiwahia Kukutai, dated around 1939. Rangiwahia was maybe in her 60s at the time. Rangiwahia is listed as Kahutoroa's mother, but looking at whakapapa on this site and others, this person, Hohi, is listed as her mother?

Please, can anyone help me to unravel this? Was Kahutoroa whangai'd out to Hohi's sister, Rangiwahia? This was common practice at the time.

This would help us, Kahutoroa's descendants, maintain the correct whakapapa.

Kahutoroa did have a sister named Lucy (Ruihi) whom one of my cousins remembers going to visit with our kuia at Porirua Mental hospital.

If anyone has any further information, pls contact me at nzcutegal@yahoo.com. My thanks.
