SA birth for COE

[ChristineR]

I was wondering if they may have travelled overland, Margaret..... Mt Barker district would have been on the start of a journey in that direction. If they made the long slow trip overland, a birth may well have not been registered.

I agree with dee 

From 1859 to 1866 they registered 4 children at Balmoral, and a death - so certainly looks like they would have come overland - as this is over in the Western District of Victoria.  Since they were leaving the state, or already newly arrived when the second James was born, they might not have bothered to register the child.  They do not register any births in Williamstown until 1870.

They probably told the registrar that they had registered him in SA.   They were quick to register their next three - all girls, not yet named when registered!

Thanks Christine,
great to have a second opinion on that one. 
I certainly looks like that is what has happened.

Appreciate all the help on this, thanks everyone.

It hadn't been mentioned before.  Margaret's friend has the marriage details - but must have just the reverse index entry then - if it has the place indexed like that, it should also have the State recorded on the actual certificate.  As well, all his children's birth certificates will also record the State, so I do not know why it is such a mystery then   I was thinking he must have married in SA or NSW where these details are sometimes left off!

Mt Talbot is in the Balmoral area, towards Horsham.

Hi Christine and Jenn,
yes my friend (sister in law actually ) has the marriage details, and as you have  said  it states born in Vic.   But on searching the birth indexes she could not find it.  thus the reason we thought might be worth checking the S.A. indexes in case it was incorrectly entered.

Thanks, sorry if I have mislead you on that one.

My computer is slowly dying, will have to take it to the technically doctor very soon, Hope I don't lose any data.
Trying to save what I can like a mad fool

It gives you a narrow time frame for when they went from SA to Vic.   Not every birth is registered, but it was worth checking just in case he only thought he was born at Mt Talbot, Vic.   

Any Victorian born kids birth certs will also record his birth place.

Good luck with saving everything before the computer dies.  It is good when you get warning that it is going to happen.   I found when I changed computers that my backed up emails would not restore to the later version of Outlook Express, so now I save them as text files in My Documents.  I was lucky that I printed out all the ones still in my inbox.

Thanks Christine,
so far so good with the  computer, forget emails though
back to the drawing board.

But as you have done, I also print up a lot of the emails that I get, thus having that persons email address in paper files. 

cheers
Margaret
