NSW POSSIBLE BIRTH 1907-1918/20

[Les de B]

I'm not sure how strict NSW BDM's are? As John is only after a birth date would it be worth John's time to email BDM's and indicate to them he has Roy's Marriage Cert, Roy's war records, and details of Roy's death 2O years ago.

I just looked at the BDM's site, and and although births of less than 100 years are restricted except to the individual himself/herself, the wording does read "records are normally only available to the person named on the certificate"

Does "normally" suggest not all the time? Roy has been deceased for over 20 years, and John has a few of Roy's other records.

No harm in trying

Hi Les....I doubt he would be successful.  He is not a direct relative or descendant.   My understanding is that you would be named on the certificate ie. your own birth, your own marriage etc....but I have been known to get things wrong....frequently


Restricted records are normally only available to the person named on the certificate and identification is always required.

Unrestricted records are available to anyone. Identification is not required. We refer to these unrestricted records as Family History Records (Certificates).

Family History Certificates are available to anyone if the event occurred:

    Births 100 years ago or more
    Deaths 30 years ago or more
    Marriages 50 years ago or more

Used to be that if you spun a good story you could get them - but sadly no more. If the person is dead you need to be the next of kin still living - child, grandchild - or a legal eagle needing the information for the purposes of an estate.

Could be worth trying - I would love to be proven wrong!

Hi,
I will have to be patient on this. I am not a direct decendant so am I right in thinking I cannot order a death cert.

I'm a direct descendant , my grandmother is Joyce's daughter Shirley , I can name many defendants from the Giles family and I knew Joyce (great grand mother) up until she passed away.
Maybe i can help with your inquiries ?

Teagang, Many thanks for your e-mail. In between my original posting and current I have had telephone contact with June (Cashman) and she has sent me many scanned documents/photographs  re Roy and his brother Harold. I appreciate your offer but will draw a halt on this family line now as it is getting a little removed from the research I am doing. Again thanks for the offer and if I can reciprocate the offer any HOOD info you would like please contact but June may well have most of it if you spoke to her.

Regards

John
