Dear Esma, Unless you find there is an "historical" certificate available, possibly at a lower price; to obtain a "Real" birth certificate, there is no other way than to apply to the registrar and pay the going price. The only exception I know of is Tasmania, where all BDM and baptism records prior to 1900 are deposited in the Archives and anyone can walk in and have them for the price of a photocopy. From 1900 onwards, you have to apply to the registrar and pay. All states including Queensland have very strict rules as to who can apply for certificates, as I have found to my disadvantage. If it is an "historical" certificate (and you have to check with the state concerned as to whether it fits into this catagory - it depends on the date), usually anyone can apply. If it is after the "historical" deadline, only the nearest living relative can apply. e.g., even my children could not apply for their deceased paternal grandmother's birth, death or 2nd marriage certificates, as their father is still alive. And Di is quite right, Elizabeth Emily Patterson had three children, including Carl, no father named. George 1807, Willie 1808 & Carl 1809. (Willie was under Emily Elizabeth.) The marrage to Harry Fumoto was in 1905 (but you may already know all of this). What you would get off the certificates is her age, where she lived, where the children were born and her occupation.
