Marriage 1902/3705 of Cordelia Maxwell to Henry Maynard Christie.

Daughter born 1918 to H M Christie of Moxham Ave, Kilbirnie, Wellington. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19181030.2.3 BDM indexes show that this is Dorothy Isabel, daughter of Henry Maynard Christie and Cordelia. Wainuiomartian (talk) 02:00, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

@Noracrentiss: How does this affect the Wikidata item? the author of the paper was probably Henry's wife Cordelia.

Hugh Miller Christie (1) died 1903 age 51

Hugh Miller Christie (2) died 1949 age 64, so would have been born 1885. Neither of these men lived in Wellington ca 1905.

Conclude that Mrs HM Christie is Cordelia, wife of Henry Maynard Christie. Wainuiomartian (talk) 02:11, 7 February 2024 (UTC)<be>

@Wainuiomartian I agree this is Cordelia May Christie. The paper itself records the author as Mrs H. M Christie See: https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/periodicals/TPRSNZ1907-40.2.11.1 (page 562) See also Wikidata item Q108880833
