I really hope they fill in the gaps or is waste of time as we have already got them but with the missing pieces . As I have  never done this sort of thing before ordering transcriptions and if they come back with the blank stuff missing mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

They will transcribe exactly what is on the NSW BDM registers.  That's why they are official transcribers.   They are transcribing the NSW BDM registration for each of those reference numbers.

Thankyou Majm.
A reply to one of your previous post about starting with your own parents then working back being the best way to research. I'm a bit behind on today's posts and will have to catch up tonight.
Yes I agree, that's what motivated me to join in on these chats, as I read through all the evidence of extended family members findings as well as what we could find and be provided I started to figure out what was common to all family members and what was added bits of story based on assumptions or Misinterpreted story over the last ( I'm guessing ) 80 odd years or so when Agnes's children would have started talking of their grandmother to their children. I have never met all the other family members that have been researching the last 12 years apart from Bron63 who is my Aunty. I am aware that bron63 knows of some of these other family members from childhood, I personally can't rule out any other family members stories as we don't know what is true in each story or not yet. The only thing I can rule out is the parts of each story that do not help with our research. I like to know what I teach my children is as accurate as I can provide and I think this is what other families have tried to do in an attempt to provide a better story for their families or themselves. I really hope that at the end of this exercise only one story will remain and be documented for all future generations to enjoy. Most of the family members that have evolved from Agnes have been quite large so we have an extremely big extended family, a number of which I am not game or able to put a figure to, it would not surprise me if it's in the thousands.
Thankyou, Wertyperty.

Bron and Werty,

I think we should pause and wait until we hear that those documents have arrived at Bron's inbox.

The thread will not disappear, but you both now have time to get on with all the day to day things that need to be done that have nothing to do with family history researchings online.

Cheers,  JM

Thanks Majm,
A break would be good. Im exhausted. I will be conducting research in the background still and await these transcripts.  :-*  :-*  Anything new I find that is directly related to our search I will post, otherwise I will keep checking back in the event someone else discovers something, or has a good lead.

Hi judb,
           Bron63 has ordered the transcriptions so a visit to the NLA is not necessary unless you would like to search for any other worthwhile documents, your kind offer has deffinately not gone unnoticed.
Thankyou.
               And a big thankyou to everyone that has helped us on our research so far.  :)

Werty,  The info at the NLA will be images from the original parish registers.  NSW BDM was not receiving all the info that was on those original parish registers.   NSW BDM was only receiving a summary of the information.   NSW BDM and the Churches were in dispute from around 1856 to around 1895.  So, often there's info missing from the marriages info NSW BDM.   So we need to start with clean official transcriptions to know what to look for on the parish registers.   Merlin has found where the National Library in Canberra has images of the Mudgee Church of England registers.  And Judith has offered to go to the library and look that up.  Bron has ordered the official transcriptions, so now it simply a matter of waiting and then when the info comes in "marrying up" the parish register info with the official transcription, as per the advice that NSW BDM has on its own website.

I am sure Judith will endeavour to find the time to get to the NLA, and I am sure she will have been keeping up to date with this thread. 

Fingers crossed that we will then know more about Agnes Mum and Dad, so we can start joining some dots.

Cheers,  JM
