Remember that these dates are the date of registration not the date of birth. Is there any reason that these two children's births were not registered in the year of their birth and have only recently (ie in 2005) been officially registered? That would also explain how two have the same year of registration.

I wish to advise that I've a response from NSW BDM re what I believed were Transcription errors in their Indexes: being as some have suggested; not Transcription errors, but rather; was when the Children's Births were registered some 100 years later. It seems strange that the Children's Births were Registered some 100 years after their Births and after their Deaths as well? Again; thank you to all who took an interest in my query.
