I am trying to find the birth of Robert Wallace Bowman, born 25 December 1911 either in Victoria or NSW. His parents names are: Percival William Bowman and : Mary Elizabeth Bowman nee Wallace. Robert also has 3 other siblings whom I am having trouble locating either in Australia or NZ. They are Myra (no ideas on date), Harry Selwyn who we believe was possibly born in New Zealand, but died in Australia and lastly William for whom we have no details either. We believe that Robert Wallace Bowman was the eldest of these 4 but cannot be sure. Thanks in anticipation. Any assistance will be gratefully received. Percy William and his siblings were all from the state of Victoria. Thanks Marj

Hi there,
I think you will find your chap's birth was registered in NSW ;D
Robert W BOWMAN, son of Percy W and Mary E, registered Paddington 1912. NSW BDM ref 7864.
The cheaper option of ordering an official transcription gives you the same info as on a real deal cert. The info on the registration includes :
:) the baby's full name (christian name/s and surname), sex, date and place of birth
:) Baby's Mum's details including full name and maiden name (and any former names), age, occupation, place of birth
:) Baby's Dad's details including full name, age, occupation, place of birth
:) Date and place of baby's Mum and Dad's marriage
:)The names, gender and age of any older siblings (from that marriage) and just their age and gender if they have not survived.
