Greetings, I am hoping someone can look up the birth of Mary Cox born to a Sergeant of the 40th regiment in Moreton Bay. Please allow me to explain the details. The commanding Lieutenant of the 40th Regiment detachment had a son Charles 5/11/1824. My family history claims she was born on the day offices wives came ashore. It also claims it was about 2 weeks before Millers son was born (c20/10/1824).. The history of Capt. Henry Miller found at http://members.ozemail.com.au/~pjandrew/miller.html quotes the Brisbane Courier 28 April 1923 proposing Millers son Charles was the 1st white child of Queensland. A Miller genealogy suggests this but does not deny it may not be correct. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~pjandrew/scholley.html#Charl The author of the above site, Peter Andrews, wrote to me: "I did have and now cannot find (lent it to someone ???) a copy of a page of Births or Christenings in NSW (Qld was part of NSW then). As I recall Charles Miller's name was higher up the list but the date on the next Morton Bay entry (I assume your Mary) was earlier." Can anyone find Mary's DOB? Brian Sullivan
