No births coming up for a Zilpha Rowley where did you get her name from??

You missed a generation !!! Her mums maiden name was Rowley

Births Mar 1917
Holland Zilpha Rowley Oldham 8d 890


Her parents
Marriages Sep 1912
Holland Fred Rowley Oldham 8d 1324
Rowley Mary E Holland Oldham 8d 1324


So you seem to have got a bit mixed up somewhere

Edit .you would need to know their ages and fathers names to identify the right births

Giving this a night-time nudge in case our Kiwi friends can help............

From the New Zealand ER 1853-1981 as shown on Ancestry.

In 1954, Herbert and Zilpha Kershaw are on the ER at 28 Yale St, Miramar, Wellington. He is a Fitter. By 1963, Herbert at the same address is listed as a fitter & turner.
Ditto for 1969, 1972, 1978
Herbert must have died by 1981 as Zilpha is now described as a widow and living at 98 Tah_ Street, Miramar.

In 1963 and based purely on the location of Miramar, a Zilpha BADGER is listed as a housewife at 116 Strathmere Ave, Miramar along with a John Riddin Badger who is a carpenter.
Ditto 1969, 1972, 1978 although John is a Contractor.
They are still there in 1981. Also listed is a Linda Badger who is a word processor.

Roy Kershaw is listed on the 1963 ER as living at 30 Totara Rd, Miramar. He is an Advertising Manager. There are no other Kershaws at that address.
He is still there in 1969 along with a Valerie who is married (to him?)
By 1972 they have moved to 4 Somerville Terrace, Tawa, Porirua, Wellington
1978 sees them at 140 Bramley Drive, Stnry (vowels missing) Pakuranga, Wellington. Both have the word Prop next to their names – proprietor?
Ditto 1981

Try searching for entries on http://whitepages.co.nz/ the New Zealand on-line phone directory.
There is an entry for a R Kershaw with a Wellington address along with a couple of entries for a J Badger

this info is great thank you so much . :-\ :-)
