Queensland birth registration code

[gramsie]

I emailed 'justice.qld.gov.au' about the registration code - all that they could tell me was that the birth was re-registered in 1926. They could release no more information because of their access policy, which states that I would need written authorisation from herself (died in 1930), parents (probably both dec'd),children (none), siblings (none), grandparents (dec'd), grandchildren (none), spouse (none), or wait until 100 years has passed.
Does anyone know if the 100 years would be from her original birth in 1913 or the reregistration in 1926? They didn't answer that query either.

hi Margaret

Coming in late on this one. I know someone else whose relative's birth was registered much later than their actual birth year. As Jenn said it could be that they may have adopted the child. If they arrived on their own in 1913 then unless they left the child in the UK would it be theirs?

Have you had a chance to look at the Incoming UK passenger lists to 1960 on Ancestry?? This might tell you if they took the child back to the UK with them c1926.  You should be able to look at Ancestry at your main local library or FH centre.

Also if you can access Findmypast you should be able to see for sure that the child is nowhere on the passenger list with them when they arrive in 1913 and whether there when they return in 1927.

Hope this is of some help

They arrived on their own in 1913 and when they returned to England in 1927, their daughter travelled with them - as i have just discovered from the incoming passenger lists, thanks for the suggestion: I haven't viewed the record but the search lists the 3 arriving in Hull
