South Australia BMD search

[redmr2red]

Seeking help on how to search South Australia BMD online.

I'm after (fishing exercise) the Summerton children born between 1912 when they were married and 1922 (100 years ago) Father: Walter Summerton, Mother: Kate Ada Johnston

What I have from a My Heritage search.

Walter Summerton, of Goose Island, born November 22 1857, in Gawler, South Australia, to Walter Summerton and Fanny Summerton (nee Plumb).
Fanny was born circa 1869, in Mount Duneed, Victoria, Australia.
Walter had 5 brothers: John Summerton, Frederick Summerton and 3 other siblings.
Walter married Kate Ada Johnston (my Grandmother's sister) in 1912, at age 24.
Kate was born Circa March 1 1885, in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. (This bit in bold I already had)
Walter passed away circa 1962, at age 74 in Warrnambool, Victoria, Reg No 10611 / 1962

Any help finding any children would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Red

There’s a South Aus online database that has BMD …

Hopefully that is useful

This is from the Biographical Index of South Australians.

The information in the wonderful resource is not always correct, and it seems a little at odds with your information especially as the birthdate given for Walter(senior) is identical with one you have .

SUMMERTON, Walter Frederick. Parents Fredk and Emma Jane nee Tyzack. Born 22/11/1857 Gawler South Aust . arr. departed Vic in 1888 Occ. Blacksmith .

Thanks Sparrett, I'm trying to find the children to Kate Ada nee Johnston.  Kate was born in Launceston, Tasmania.  The family moved to Melbourne early 1900 (Kate was around 15) and Kate married Sommerton from SA.  Later around 1925 she married (2) Alfred Ashworth in Melbourne and moved to NSW where she lived her remaining years.

I'm trying to find any children she may have had to Sommerton either in SA or VIC.

You have missed a generation in your opening post.  Walter Edward who married Kate was born 1887 to Walter and (Sarah) Fanny.

If you wanted to spend the $$ a Victorian death certificate should say number and names of any children (provided the informant knew). As you say the registration number for Walter is 10611 / 1962.

The 1912 marriage Summerton to Johnston was in Paddington, New South Wales.

Walter and Kate married in NSW in 1912, I can't see any children registered there.

Walter Summerton, of Goose Island, born November 22 1857, in Gawler, South Australia, to Walter Summerton and Fanny Summerton (nee Plumb).

I think Sarah Fanny BAILEY was Walter's (b 1857) first wife, Fanny Laura PLUMB was his second.  Walter Frederick born 1887 was from the first marriage.

I love RootsChat ...... thanks everyone. 

I understood the generation gap, but Oops!! a copy and paste didn't quite do it.

Thanks Neale and Dundee, that gives me lots to go on.  Maddy I think I might buy Kate's death certificate that should have children if any from both marriages.
