Hi Nanna

I am outraged by it. I have to provide such information for working with children so I am familiar with it. I always run into problems as I am a non-driver. The proof of age then had to be uploaded. Then they didn't like the numbers on my birth registration and it was saying you need to upload it and get a justice of the peace to witness it. No way, Jose.

I wasn't comfortable with any of it and couldn't work out why they would need it the certificates required were over 25 years old.

Nova a cousin finished up ringing them to ask why it was so expensive and the need for all the information.  The reply was along the lines of, we are not a big state like others so we can’t afford to digitise everything like them.  He didn’t get a real answer on the security though.
James -Victoria, Australia originally from Keynsham, Somerset.
Janes - Keynsham and Bristol area.
Heale/Hale - Keynsham, Somerset
Vincent - Illogan/Redruth, Cornwall.  Moved to Sculcoates, Yorkshire; Grass Valley, California; Timaru, New Zealand and Victoria, Australia.
Williams somewhere in Wales - he kept moving
Ellis - Anglesey

A lot of people with Tasmanian Ancestry would be interested if they offered a more modest price. They probably do not have the staff to handle it. I have written to them about it. I did read somewhere that they were working on a database.

I am on the mainland.

The Tasmanian Names Index is fabulous and I have always found the librarians/archivists will get back to me with great information. Not that I have bombarded them.  They are really helpful.

Swings and roundabouts...

" know that their mother is meant to be Ann Barnes."

You know that the woman who married James Moody, 1871, is really Ann Barnes?.   

How have you determined this?

Too many James Moody's.

The first James Moody to Tasmania was James Moody who married Ann Barnes in 1834.

James Moody (1836 - 1924) is their eldest child.

The first James Moody was a convict. 

Don't worry.

I have had a reply from Tas BDM within 24 hours. I will post about this later as I am on my phone and  waiting to start work.
If you would still like to apply for the certificate Nanna52, I can forward you the email. Just PM me.
Basically, it said that you do not have to provide the documents if it is beyond 25 years  I will have to see if her method works, or there is still an indication that you do.
