SA BD&M Lookup Please

It would be appreciated if somebody could check to see whether Sarah Ward was born in South Australia in around 1842.  I believe her father would have been John Ward.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks heaps for this Magoo.  This could very well be the right family, as nobody has been able to locate a birth for Sarah in about 1842 in South Australia.  Now I just need to confirm whether Ann Maria Ward was born to John and Martha in South Australia in around 1849.  If so, then we have a match.  So far, nobody has been able to confirm a birth for Ann (or Anne) Maria Ward in South Australia at around this time.  Are you able to check this for me at all?  If so, it would be appreciated.

Yes, I know of this birth.  When I requested a copy of the birth certificate for Anne Maria Ward born in 1949, the certificate for this birth is what I received.  Unfortunately, I don't think this is the right person, as Anne (or Ann) Maria's marriage certificate says her father's name was John.
