It's interesting to see that Nancy always considered herself a New Zealander, despite having left NZ at 20 mths of age, and having never been back to NZ in 85 years. She always retained her NZ passport.
Her ancestry was quite interesting, with bloodlines from the English (the Wake name was quite famous in defense activities from the era of William the Conquerer), French Huguenot, and Maori.
Her great-grandmother was a Maori maiden by the name of Pourewa, who was the first of her race to marry an Englishman, Charles Cossell, Nancys great-grandfather.
No doubt the Maori blood gave her some of the rebelliousness and fighting spirit she possessed, and the Huguenot ancestry made her feel at home in France.
