Still need
Keep separate from the English 1877 son. Otaraia marriage still needed.
Notes
Death copy 14576. Drover. Age 42 implies birth about 1880, not 3 Feb 1877. Parents on that copy: Sydney Herbert Knight, labourer, and Jeannie Ysker Knight maiden Nimmo. 37 years in NZ. Find a Grave 166790068 is the stone, not proof of an 1877 birth.

Age 42 on 16 Nov 1922 implies birth about 1880, not 3 Feb 1877. A 2026 briefing argued the Gore man was the 1877 son under an assumed name and stamped the case Resolved. Age math still fails. The 1938 Ranfurly marriage names a drover father — that is household, not an 1877 English birth. The briefing is a source of claims, not a close.

Possible Rogerson child, adult exclusion, or registration gap. Ysker-will beneficiary is a financial link, not biological proof.
