Bevan family S.A

I am wondering if there was a multiple birth in 1916 to Maud.  There should be an M symbol in the index.

M. Multiple Birth. Multiple Births were recorded as one entry.

But instead there is a cross reference

X. Cross referenced Registration. Major Spelling Variation between Registrar and Informant. Confusion between given names and surnames and ambiguity of which parents surname is to be used for the child.

I think there was a change of given names ie Francis Humphrey became John Stanley.

What do other think?

I guess a  look at John Stanley Bevan WW2 record would be informative but it is not digitalised, so you would have  to pay to have it done around $25.00

Cando, you are no doubt correct about  the birth cross references interesting indeed!
Those two certificates would be very interesting to see

well spotted cando.
perhaps the grandparents legally adopted him and changed his name-
perhaps the Francis Humphrey was a hint towards to his father's name and Maud/ her parents decided against that idea after the birth was registered.
If that is the case and we have the same child, with two different names,  the Francis Humphrey certificate will be no longer available.??
( that is the case in NZ where once changed by adoption by the natural father or elsewise the original certificate a-lthough still there to be seen on indexes- is no longer able to be issued)

intriguing stuff 

I have some paperwork well worth buying in the near future

I just noticed that for $16.50 you can have a service record digitised on the website only.  $25 for photocopy and inclusive in the price, the option to have the record digitised and placed the on website.  You will find this if you proceed as to order.

Birth certs would be available.  However you will only get the following information for births in South Australia the period
1908-1979

    * Date and Place of Birth
    * Name
    * Father's name, Age, Occupation, Residence, Birthplace
    * Mother's name, Age, Residence, Birthplace
    * Year of parents Marriage
    * Number of Issue Living and Deceased
    * Informant

As there is no father's name on the index there will be no further information about him on the certificate.

No need to purchase expensive birth certs in SA. You can order a transcription for $15.  Certs in South Australia are $38 - price increased on the 1 Jul 2008.

I doubt there would have been a legal adoption in that period...I think the grandparents just raised the child as their own and often the mother was a 'sister'.

There are some good resource links at the top of the board..go to

Emigrants to Australia
>Australian Resources
>South Australian Resources.

Perhaps have a browse.
