Excellent idea. More than happy to contribute . Joy >

HI Mary I'll give this a go many thanks Dianna

Bob, What dates are you looking for? You can search the NSW BDM index on-line http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/ it's free to search and you can order certificates from here. Births can be searched 1788-1910, deaths 1788-1980, marriages 1788-1960. Pre-1856 is church registers - baptisms, marriages, burials - but they contain little information. Many of these records have been filmed. Post 1856 it's civil registration - births, marriages, deaths - some parish registers have been filmed. All films available locally - unfortunately none is on-line. You can order the relevant certificate on-line from the registry or more cheaply via a transcription agent - details on the website homepage. Small amendment to spelling of your places of interest: Penrith; Roc*k*dale; Waterloo; Willou*gh*by.

I have people born in Penrith, Rochdale, Waterloo and Willouby and would like to search for baptismal infrmation if possable. Any help would be appreciated. > > Bob > > > >

Hi Everyone Does anyone know where I can find information on the 'Hallgrens" who used to perform on stage around the WW1 time up untill the late 1920's early thirties please. I know that they were involved in the performance of "The Seven little Australian's' on stage and I would like to find more details of their history and perfomances. I was told that they performed at one time with Sir Robert Helpman. Any help much appreciated kind regards Dianna

Dear Tracey, Have you tried spelling the name slightly different which may have been the case on the records? The name and age of all children should be included in the Death Registration of both parents? NB Should be!!!!

I am trying to find information in relation to Christopher Hibble (born 1894 Sydney). His father is Harry Hibble and mother is Alice (Meads). I have been unable to find any trace of him after his birth. I have searched BDM and NLA Newspapers. Hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance. Tracey Newcastle.

Hi Bob, I don't know much about Sydney Parish records, but as I understand it all baptisms were recorded as such along with the BDM records. I have baptism records for Tasmania and New South Wales that I've obtained from the standard channels. You can check here for NSW births dating back to 1788. http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=birth s Rae

Maybe the listers can do some transcribing?

Greetings All Now that a reasonable numbr of listers have replied that they would be prepared to donate, I will ring the Anglican office tomorrow and discuss the idea with them, they may of course say that funding is not the issue, just that the work they are doing is a huge job and so on I will get back to evryone (vis rootsweb) when I have some news many thanks Patrick Callaghan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Moon" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 2:58 PM Subject: Re: [ANS] Assisting the Rookwood Anglican database to come online > Patrick > I'd be happy to subscribe - what next? > Jan > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "patrick callaghan" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; > <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; > <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 11:58 AM > Subject: [ANS] Assisting the Rookwood Anglican database to come online > > > Please remember to snip most of the earlier message before you post any > reply......
