Name of parents from search on New Zealand BDM website in July 2020:
1920/9284. Brennan, Helen. Mother: Emily. Father: William
Different date of birth of
11 May 1920 from further searching in July 2020 on BDM Search by incrementally changing the date range for the birth.
Because brother William was born on 11 May 1920, it would seem to be impossible that this Helen was born twelve days ;ater. Brian of nzolivers therefore assumes that Helen and William were twins and is using this date of 11 May 1920.
