Thanks for typing up that info. Yes, many of the clergy of all the denominations were able to get to the outer lying districts infrequently, as they were travelling long distances, on their circuits.
Have you investigated the following two baptisms …. perhaps a sidetrack, but it is not unusual for the nee surname of a lass transported to NSW to be the surname used on various records in NSW.
So, here’s what appears to be two baptisms, BUT in fact, in my opinion, it was just one baptism, and the clergy were simply abiding by the general orders regarding the transmission of their records to the NSW CHAPLAINS. and the clergy recorded the surname as WALKER. You will of course notice the given names for the recorded parents of this wee lass.
Anna F WALKER, with parents given as Thomas and Anna E, in 1830, (Vol 15, line 46) so a C of E baptism,
and
Ann F WALKER, with parents given as Thomas and Ann E, in 1831 (Volume 1C, line 10515) so a C of E baptism, likely a transmitted record, perhaps a transmission of the one I have noted above, but of course you would need to consider both documents in case these are for two separate baptisms.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTCD-GLY gives birthdate as 21 June 1830 and baptism 16 May 1831, Anna Frances Walker, with parents as Thomas and Anna Elizabeth WALKER , and I am of the opinion that NSW BDM currently has this referenced as 46/1830, (which I credit to Vol 15, line 46)
and
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTX4-JZ4 does not give birthdate, but gives baptism date 16 May 1831, and parents as Thomas and Anna Elizabeth WALKER so in my opinion, this would be the transcription for the NSW BDM entry currently referenced as 10515/1831 (which I credit to Volume 1C, line 10515, 1831)
So perhaps you need to continue to search for further leads on your Sarah DALEY, perhaps under the surname FITZPATRICK, or under WALKER, and also remember that the NSW BDM’s Early Church Records are definitely NOT a full compliment of all the baptisms, burials or marriages for NSW before civil registration.
The NSW State Library has film of many of the Early Church Records. The NSW BDM does NOT have the original handwritten versions, and their website confirms that.
“1788 – 1855 …….. Today, our transcriptions are computer format as we don’t hold original handwritten versions of church records” http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/bdm_fh/bdm_rec.htmlhttp://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/therry-john-joseph-2722Cheers, JM
