Thanks so much Michelle! You are a treasure. I think you've unlocked Aunty Maud's secret. I'm assuming the parent's married after 1914 or just lived as a married couple as Maud gives her father's name on her marriage cert. I'll try her father's death cert (in Victoria) and see what he has to say for himself!

WILSON Maud mother Matilda rego Marrickville ref 1914/40380 Marrickville is near LEICHHARDT and the rego place is where the parent registered the birth - the local court house, it might not be the same as the suburb they were born nor the place they grew up. There is also the following births WILSON Mary E mother Matilda J rego Newtown ref 1907/6047 on the cd and the following on the web site: 9054/1886 WILSON WILLIAM J MATILDA NEWTOWN 28742/1894 WILSON JANET E MATILDA REDFERN 24389/1897 WILSON FRANCIS W MATILDA L NEWTOWN Now J is easily mis transcribed at L - so this could be the same unmarried mother. >From the online indexes it seems most of these children died... 9054/1886 WILSON WILLIAM J MATILDA NEWTOWN 9160/1897 WILSON FRANCIS W MATILDA L NEWTOWN 3244/1908 WILSON MARY MATILDA ST LEONARDS I gather you live overseas? In NSW we can buy cheaper certificate info from transcription agents. You might want to buy Maud's 1914 cert, I use www.transcriptions.com.au - as they email - so you save postage cost and time! Good luck Oh this could be the Janet E getting married - might be worth ordering a partial cert and just getting the parents info... 2542/1907 TAYLOR JAMES WILSON JANET E SUNNY CORNER Hope this helps Michelle On 9 Dec 2006 at 17:49, jnnyb@aol.com wrote: > Hello listers, > > Couls some lovely person please look up the birth of Maude Mary > Hessey reputedly at Leichardt in June 1914, daughter of Albert > Bernard HESSEY & Matilda Jane WILSON.
