The newspaper entries do not contain the first names of the infant, but by going to the New Zealand Government Birth Death and Marriage, Historical Website https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/ and entering the information into their search engine, it will give you the first names of the child.
