Hi there,

Have you considered the following Phoebe in your search for her birth?

Vic BDM online index
1865  registration indexed  for a Phoebe,  with mother as Rosetta WIDDERS and no mention of the baby’s dad’s name.   #4893.

Yes, it does seem that way Cando.   

There's many a flaw in NSW BDM online indexes for births, deaths and marriages in the years 1856-1890s, so if Phoebe was born in NSW, it is possible her birth has not been included in the registrations listed by NSW BDM. 

I am not familiar with NZ BDM for any possible flaws, so I don't know the admin setup behind their central register.  I do know though that it was not compulsory for Maori births to be registered until about 1913.   http://library.huttcity.govt.nz/docs/OPAC/PDFS/RG-BDM.pdf
