Hi all.
Reginald Alfred Holloway born 1917, Cloncurry Qld, died 2011, NSW.
Married, Doreen Ruth Joll in 1947 in Rockdale NSW. Lived Kogarah, NSW
I’m looking for any children from that marriage.
Thank you.

NSW has strict privacy laws, so births cannot be searched within 100 years of the current date. Also, RootsChat has a strict no living person policy:
"17. Breach or request the breach of privacy of persons who are or may be living." in the Terms of Use

Sorry about post, should have stated all deceased.
Have burials but no births.
Thank you.

Hi there,
Maddy has given you excellent information.
Your reply to her information seems to read that you are still seeking information about birth/s for any children of the 1947 marriage.
Sorry about post, should have stated all deceased.
Have burials but no births.
Thank you.
So I share the following as dictated to me by one of my relatives who is a retired former Senior Officer of the NSW BDM.
"Members of the General Public are not able to access the records of the NSW BDM for births that occurred less than 100 years ago. This means that the birth record for any child/ren of the marriage of the couple who married in 1947 are simply not accessible by Members of the General Public, and the online index does not display for non historic registrations."
I was born in 1947 in NSW. My NSW BDM birth certificate shows a depth of detail that allows it to be the foundation document for me to prove my identity. There is information on that record that is not known outside of that actual record, except to the people named on that document. There are very few people who can currently actually access my birth registration simply because of that 100 year restriction. That principle applies to all birth registrations in NSW, so it is not unique to me. That principle means there would be very few people who could access the NSW BDM birth registration/s for any children of that 1947 marriage.
Have you read through the 'How To" stickied thread at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/australia/

RootsChat - Our Policy on Living Persons.
Here on RootsChat we are very concerned that the privacy and security of the living is protected. For this reason we do not allow searches for living persons. Although we fully understand you would like recent information to add to your tree, or that you may wish to make contact with birth families, relatives you lost contact with when they immigrated to Australia, missing family or friends, we are afraid we are unable to assist you.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience this causes you but we are sure you will appreciate the reasons for this. .....
If you are looking for living descendants, that is fine provided you do not provide details of these living persons. If you are providing details of someone we are likely to suspect may still be living, but you know is deceased, please state this.
Although we are keen to help you make connections, there are times, however, when other community networks will be able to do more and this is especially so in the case of people searching for their birth parents/missing people. We suggest using Google Search will lead such searchers in the right direction.
We are sorry we are unable to help you with any searches for the living but may we wish you every success in your hunt ;D

Thank you Cupoflife,
My sister & I have found a lot of info on Reginald & his birth certificate is very interesting & his Mother Annie has been such a challenge, his father an open book, Annie maybe my Auntie, & still is a challenge.
Really appreciate your input.
Regards Ruth
