Jill asked an adoption question as to when the Act came into effect Hope the following helps Alan Melbourne =========================== Adoption of Children Act, 1925 It gained the "Royal Assent" on December 17 1925 by the Governor Tom Bridges Amendments were made in 1931 1940 1943 1975 1976 1980 I do not intend delving too far into the legalities but I do note the Adoption Act was made in 1988 but they were still making amendments to the Adoption of Children Act, 1925 in 1980 However the questions raised by Jill seem to now focus on entitlements perhaps under the current Act might help - there are several parts which are associated for example Section 27 of the Adoption Act 1988 states:* *27—Right to obtain information once adopted person turns 18 (1) Subject to this Part, an adopted person who has attained the age of 18 years or, if the adopted person consents or is dead or cannot be located, a lineal descendant of the adopted person, may obtain— (a) the names and dates of birth (if known) of the person's birth parents; (b) any other information in the possession of the Chief Executive relating to the birth parents and the circumstances of the adoption 1 ; (c) any message, information or item given to the Chief Executive by a birth parent with instructions that it be provided to the adopted person; (d) information in the possession of the Chief Executive relating to a sibling (whether of the whole or half blood) of the person who has also been adopted and who has also attained the age of 18 years. (2) Subject to this Part, if an adopted person has attained the age of 18 years, a birth parent of the person or, if the birth parents consent or are dead or cannot be located, a person who would have been a relative of the person if the adoption order had not been made, may obtain— (a) the names of the adoptive parents and the adopted person; (b) any other information in the possession of the Chief Executive relating to the adoptive parents and the adopted person; (c) any message, information or item given to the Chief Executive by an adopted person or adoptive parent with instructions that it be provided to the birth parent. (3) Subject to this Part, if an adopted person has attained the age of 18 years, an adoptive parent of the person may, with the consent of the adopted person, obtain— (a) any information in the possession of the Chief Executive relating to the adopted person's birth parents; (b) any message, information or item given to the Chief Executive by a birth parent with instructions that it be provided to the adoptive parents. (4) In providing information under this section the Chief Executive must not reveal the name of a person (other than a birth parent and any siblings of the whole or half blood of the adopted person who have attained the age of 18 years) who would have been a relative of the adopted person if the adoption order had not been made. (5) Nothing in this section entitles a person to obtain information the disclosure of which the Chief Executive has determined, in his or her absolute discretion, would be an unjustifiable intrusion on the privacy of the person to whom the information relates. (6) The Chief Executive must establish and maintain written guidelines regarding the exercise of the Chief Executive's discretion under subsection (5). (7) The Chief Executive must give a copy of the guidelines, on request, to any person.

I've seen this before and it is a map reference. I found an old map at a local history centre. This website http://adelaide1849.com/ has an interactive map. If you click on the third box along from the top left hand corner you'll find Section 337 there.

Can anyone suggest a book on the history of the Sth. Aust settlement that I could possibly order in to my local library, Name, Author and ISBN if there was one would be of help, I want to learn about people who came and how they managed to to travel from Adelaide to the Mt Barker area, this would have been very early in the 1840’s. My interest is in two people who arrived 1839 met and married in 1840 at Holy Trinity Church and ended up at Meadows. Thank you, Chris in W.A.

I have a death registered as place of death in 1848 as section 337 North road, Adelaide , also a birth 1847 as section 337, can anyone enlighten me to this reference. many Thanks, Chris in W.A.

Many thanks to all those who replied re death registrations of WW1 casualties who died on active service abroard being registered in S.A. as well as in the service records. The person in my email did actually leave estate that would have attracted probate so I accept this as being the reason for his S.A. death record. I have, as yet, not found anyone in the W.A. records having been listed on both overseas and W.A. records but most of my own research has been for quite young men whose only wealth would have been there service pay. What I am hoping to do is locate a casualty who enlisted in W.A. and had some estate that would have attracted probate to see if they are listed. I am sorry that I have not replied to thank those who replied sooner but I have been having some work done on my house and my computer had several items of furniture in the room. Once again many thanks, Chris in W.A.

Adoption came into force in SA with the passage of the Adoption of Children Act, 1925. However, I don't know on what date the legislation was enacted. You would have to check the SA Government Gazette, for when the legislation was proclaimed. I suspect that the record that was shown on WHYTYA re McDermott came from State Records of SA, now located in the State Library of SA. Otherwise you may have to contact the adoptions branch of FamiliesSA - there is no longer an obvious branch in the telephone book (formerly called Adoption and Family Information Service.

Good Morning - On Ancestry.com this week they gave the guy McDermott papers dated 1916 for foster child Where is Adelaide did they get that copy from? I was hoping someone can tell me where I can get one for 1925 All people are deceased that have anything to do with this Foster Where is Adelaide do I go to get a copy of one ? And for those who know When was Adoption actually legalised in SA I want the actual date because the foster child I am seeking was born in September 1925 she was fostered as far as anyone knows? When I saw that the child on the TV was not adopted but fostered I got excited? As far as I know there was not adoption Still I would like to try I have her birth cert but I think it is a phoney? As none of the people on it exist in the world? I am going down to Adelaide Monday so I am hoping for a place to go to? Thank you Jill .....,'~._|\, ,/Australia\ \_,-----\*,_,/ .............*...

Hi Sieglinde Bilnman is in the far far North or North East of South Australia if you go into Geoscience and put it in you should be able to see where it is. Just a little bit of information there have been "Tully" families in Port Pirie not sure if they are still there and if you can get anything from them Cheers Sheelagh > On Aug 26, 2014, at 9:07 AM, Sieglinde Boyce via <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Listers, > I have had this information for years, but have never followed it up. > First of all where is BLINMAN??

Hi Sieglinde It's always worth going back to Trove as new material is being added all the time and people are making corrections which makes it easier to find articles about our ancestors. Blinman is in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Here's a link to Google Maps which shows the Blinman Hotel https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Blinman+Hotel/@-31.1482635,138.4141714,11z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x6a96a851bb9b2fcd:0xc3aefee8d2c9d87 Kind regards, Kylie On 26 August 2014 09:07, Sieglinde Boyce via <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Listers, > I have had this information for years, but have never followed it up. > First of all where is BLINMAN??

Dear Listers, I have had this information for years, but have never followed it up. First of all where is BLINMAN?? In South Australia. I somehow aquired this information but would like some details if possible. Years ago had a try with TROVE..but never got anywhere. Ann Tully had come to South Australia on the ship: "LLOYDS" December 1838 With her father William Tully who was a bootmaker and his wife Harriett Tobutt. The couple had brought their children Ann born 1838, and son Stephen 1837. It must have been so hard for the couple with 2 very young children. And here is what I would like to follow up: Died on her journey from "Blinman" to Adelaide, 23rd April 1869 aged 29 years. At that time I am not sure if she was married to "Thomas McKindley" or Samuel Evans. Whatever the case what a tragedy. Did she have any children and so on. Would appreciate any help that you can give men. Sieglinde.

The very first two RAAF members ever to be killed in combat had wills proven in South Australia for one and the other member in NSW It enabled the estates to be administered, one by an executrix. Their story is a sad one and I will later summarise it in a message the list later The crew rest in a Church cemetery in Brittany, having died while undertaking a top secret mission ordered by Churchill to rescue General De Gaulle's wife and three children Alan Melbourne Christine had asked: .....His death is also registered in Sth. Aust...It wasn't until I read his death notice that I realized that (FRA) was actually France and not an abbreviation for a place in Sth. Aust. this off course led me to look at his service records. If anyone else has experienced this or can suggest why it was registered in Sth. Aust. maybe they could reply to list. Regards, Chris in W.Aust.

As I understand, when soldiers were killed and family back here need to get a death certificate there wasn't one. There was such an outcry that arrangements were made to record all deaths when they were confirmed by the authorities. Hence many are much later that they actually occurred especially in the early part of WW1.
