Note certificate issue on 26 Oct 05 (this is a mistake as all early correspondence eg papers in order are Oct 06.
Maria appears to have received naturalisation in 1906, and asks for a copy of this in 1921 to get a pension. There are various letters concerning whether her husband received naturalisation in 1906. Letters sent to her are not returned, and the officials conclude finally she has naturalisation in her own right.
