 * @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)

@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
