maybe others reading this will recognise the story and be able to help with the birth name of May Elizabeth (which doesn't appear to be Leitch as I first thought) ...
Emily Alice KRUGER was born 4 Nov 1884 in Queensland, Australia
Emily married Southerly James CURTIS in 1903 in Wellington, New Zealand
May Elizabeth Leitch Curtis was born 3 Oct 1907 and adopted by Southerly & Emily 21 Feb 1908 but in March 1908 Southerly & Emily (then in Alicetown, Lower Hutt) were accused of having been paid £20 (today approx $3,500) to take the child and for caring for her for more than 7 days without being licensed as foster parents ... more here
.. It wasn't until Sep 1908 that the Magistrate imposed a nominal fine of 1s each
Emily Alice (Curtis) next married Walter Henry HIGHSTED (1880-1941) in 1924 in Wellington
.. They were in Blenheim in 1917
Walter Henry Highsted died 4 June 1941 and is buried Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North
familydetective, I don't think May Elizabeth did marry She had Audrey Curtis in 1925 and a set of twins in 1928 We will have to wait for Sharma to verify
Emily Alice KRUGER was the daughter of Alexander William KRUGER and his wife Ellen Eliza, nee BARRETT. Alexander and Ellen were married in Queensland in 1883.
