Greetings Listers I am slowly recreating the long lost burial register of the long disappeared Balmain Catholic cemetery and would like to hear from anyone who is interested in this cemetery, or who has records of burials there, I am especially interested in re-interments from this cemetery to another over the period of about 1900 to 1940, they happened progressively as building took place any help most gratefully received Patrick Callaghan

Hi Joan, I gave the date in my first message. It was in 1883. My ggrandmother died and the death certificate says "Operation Collapse" and the address was only Marrickville Road, Marrickville. I don't know what other hospitals were operating in those days. Clara Jane Grant had a baby 4 months before she died and the baby Eva Emily died at 10 weeks, 4 weeks before her mother. I really don't want to pay money for the baby's death certificate. I'm not sure it will give me any additional information. Though I suspect in those days babies were born at home, but because the death certificate for Clara Jane says "operation" it may have been in a hospital.

Lesley, you did not give a date. There was more than one private hospital in Marrickville Road eg Allerton Private Hospital which I think may have had a different name at different times. I am absolutely positive, as not only was I born there, but it my aunt was the matron and owner. I know of a gentleman born in a hospital in Marrickville Road, and we are not sure but think it could have been another one. Joan

Thank you to the kind people who answered me regarding Marrickville Hospital.. Apparently the hospital closed in 1999, but thanks to Laurel for the information that it opened after my ggrandmother died in 1883. The death certificate just said Marrickville Road, Marrickville, she must have died at home, I might try and find out if RPAH have records, maybe she had her operation there. I remember the hospital very well, passing it almost every day on my way to school, etc. in the 40s and 50s, including the day of the Sydenham train smash. I was 14 at the time, and after walking along the tracks to Sydenham Station, I was able to get a tram to Marrickville Hospital, and went to catch a bus home. However, by this time I was crying and very very upset, (as you would be after walking through the results of the crash), and while I was waiting a nurse came out and brought me some sal volatile (which was used for nerves in those days). When I left the district in 1959 when I married it was very run down, so I guess it is time to put it out to pasture. Lesley (late of Marrickville West, but now of the beautiful northern beaches of Sydney)

This might help. I typed Marrickville Hospital into Google and a lot of websites came up. I worked for an ENT Surgeon in the late 1970's and he used to operate there and held an OP Clinic there every week. I don't know if it is still being used as a General Hospital. Hilda Cooper, Sydney.

My grandmother did her midwifery training at something called "The Home Training School and Lying-In Hospital" Stanley St., Newtown in 1901-1902, could this be relevant ? I have never been able to find anything further about it. Cheers, Lynne

"A Marrickville Cottage Hospital was opened on 10th June 1899 by the Governor of New South Wales Earl Beauchamp. After a site in Lilydale Street had been purchased for £ 334, a hospital with 12 beds was erected by J. Elstone, a local builder at a cost of £2,727." Quotation taken from Marrickville People and Places, by Meader Cashman and Carrolan. It would appear that it is not Marrickville hospital.

Hello list, My ggrandmother Clara Jane Grant died (according to her death certificate) in 1883 at Marrickville Road, Marrickville. The cause of death says "operation collapse". Her baby daughter died a month before her mother aged 10 weeks. She left two very small daughters including my grandmother. I suspect it could have been in Marrickville Hospital but haven't been able to find any records. State Records come up negative for them. Can anyone help as to where I can look next. Thanks, Lesley on the beautiful northern beaches of Sydney

The witnesses to a birth are usually those who were present at the birth, and can testify to the child being the natural child of the mother, the witnesses are usually No. 1 the doctor if one was present, Nos. 2 and 3 are the midwives. If only the father was mentioned it would mean he did deliver the baby or did not give the names of other witnesses and his was used in place of the names of the midwives or midwife. Only in unusual circumstances was the father present at a birth - this was women's business and men were not allowed to be present at a birth. Having father there is a relatively new idea. Patricia, Australia Are witnesses on Birth Certificates witnesses to the birth ie present at the birth or witnesses to the registration? The pertinent column on the certificates is simply headed "Witnesses". I had always assumed that they were people who were prepared to attest that the birth had taken place or who witnessed the registration. However it seems that a transcription agent heads this column "Present at the birth". The certificates have spaces for three witnesses. Looking at some of my certificates I see that just the father's name is written. "None" is written next to the other two witness spots. Does this then mean that the father delivered the baby? Conversely if the father's name is not put down as a witness does this mean that he wasn't there at the time?

Dear Rusheen, The "not present" means that the baby was not taken to the registration at the office. I have always believed that the witnesses to the birth were the midwife/doctor and many I have indicate this.

Is there anyone researching William G Riddle married Martha Miles 1896 Mosman Please?? The had three children that I know of Arthur b. 1904, Mollie b. 1906 and James b 1898. I have done a search in the B D M index and also the service records so please don't do any searching like that for me as I do have access to these sites. I would like to know the parents of Martha Miles. I know the parents of William Riddle. Thanking you for your time. genie

667 King St, St Peters is situated between Goodsell St and May St, St Peters, on the western side opposite Sydney Park. There are two two-storeyed houses, between a factory and a row of shops. One of those houses would be 667. There is a brothel called Amore in one of the shops and it is 673 King St. St Peters. The confusion is that King St is Newtown and it continues for two blocks into St Peters before changing name to Princes Highway which starts at May St and goes southwards. The restaurant on the corner of May St is 1 Princes Highway, St Peters.

At 11:01 PM 5/02/2007, you wrote: Liz & Marg I live near the area. I think that's not the correct spot. Alexander Brodie Spark's house is on the south bank of Cooks River, and west of the highway. With today's street numbers 667 would be near St Peters station, probably opposite the remains of brickworks in Sydney Park. The name changes just north or south of St Peters station from King St to Princes Highway. In the 1880s the south part was Cook's River road. Earlier the whole of King St and the highway was known as Bullanaming road. King St running down to St Peters station is a long row of victorian & early 1900 shops, and terrace houses converted to shops, some replaced with modern shops of the 1960s. Odd numbers are on the west side. After King St there are converted terraces, then larger 1900s factories & warehouses where earlier buildings were demolished. I don't know if the street numbers have been changed since the 1950s. In that area there has been a fair bit of reallocation to different councils - numbers as well as the street name might have changed. Have you checked Sands directories?
