So any records come under The Colony of NSW , Same applied to early VIC and very early TAS records. I just checked the early Qld BDMs CD and he's listed as Tom John McKAY b 6 Apr 1858 ref # 95529 to Donald & Catherine . They also had another son, John in 1856 Unsure whether this 1858 Moreton Bay record would be included in the NSW early church record films ?? Be worth checking as Qld BDM certs now cost $37 or $38 ?
