Hi

Thanks to all, I'm sorry to be a pain but I'm also having trouble with the column next to this, the place is in NSW but I can't make the place out at all.  Sorry it's been that long since I've looked at the certificate that I forgot how much trouble I had making anything out.

Regards Kate

Hi Kate

Have to agree with Cando - the birth was before civil registration, so you are only going to find  baptism records (if anything).  There is an explanation on the bdm site re early records (or lack thereof)
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/celebrate/church.html

There are a number of baptisms 1835-1842 on the site that could be your family - are these the siblings of Susie? . Checking on the AVRI I can get the church for these Baptisms but they are from MANY different locations - both RC and C of E. (e.g. William M 1835 is Sydney, St James C of E; William 1836 is maitland, Roman catholic)  If you can tell me which ones are the siblings of your Susie, I will give you the church of baptism which may (or may not) be of some assistance

PS: On a completely different tack, my gg grandmother was married in Myrtleford 1860 & my g gm was born there in 1862 & married there in 1887 - they may have been neighbours with your family

I'm having trouble with the NSW town as well - but extra interest to me are the parents of the groom - the mother being (I think) Jane Boyd - my family were Boyds - we may be distantly related    - I will check for a Jane

Hi Trish

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.  Got all the info on the Little's if you need anything.  I've got Jane Boyd's death cert. if you want a copy for your info.

About the Siblings of Susie, I think the William M is a definite as her brother was WIlliam Mottram born sydney 1835.  THey were Presbyterian/C of E so I doubt they would have any Catholic christenings. 

Maria Louise born Apr 1837 south creek windsor
Robert Edward 1839 sydney
John Coppock 1842 muswellbrook

Not sure on the reliability of the info but so far everything else I have to do with these people checks out OK.

Hello  there
I shall  hazard a guess and say Merriwa, NSW . is her usual place of residence.  Also  note one of the witness has the surname of White.  the other is Peter Brian Wallace

Hi Kate

I also read it as Merriwa, NSW.....and  the witness is John Coppock White.

Kate how wonderful to have a link with Trish's family. 

Cheers

Hello there Sylvia
her birth year is around 1846 and she marries John Little in 1870 in victoria
 so probably rules her out of the 1881 census

Hi

Thanks so much, I agree Merriwa seems the likely town.  She must of been living with one of her siblings as her parents were both long deceased by 1870, mmmm........ interesting.
