Requesting help to find the birth record of my great grandmother, Sylvia Elaine Chisholm. Her Australian marriage cert lists her birth date as 1 January 1880. Her parents on her marriage cert are Walter Robert Chisholm and Elaine Sylvia Gibson (don't know where they were from originally or where/when married either).
Her Australian childrens' birth certificates both list her birthplace as Toronto, Canada.
Many thanks!

Doesn't answer your queries except to place a Sylvia Elaine Chisholm in Australia by 1900-

Thanks aghadowey. Her life in Australia is well documented, no mysteries there. I'm hoping to find out more about her first 20 years of life, from her birth in 1880 up to 1900.

The point of the 1900 reference is that if she was born in Canada then she had left there by 1900 (and thus before the 1901 census). I didn't find her in 1881 or 1891 census but wonder if the family name was really Chisholm :-\
