I can't remember who was inquiring about Mary Robertson who appears on the Victorian Pioneer Index as "born at Sea". Mary was born at sea but her birth was registered at Geelong after the ship had docked, so she doesn't appear on the Marine Births, Deaths and Marriages. Mary was Born At Sea On Board "British Trident". If you get the certificate it will provide you with all the normal details of a birth certificate. Dianne Hughes Teesdale
dianne, if you are clever at this sort of thing. mary tremayne was pregnant and had her child on board the lysanda. she came here with her parents cuthbert tremayne, who disappeared (maybe went back to mum) and mary nee morrish. in the cd listing it is shown as... EVANS - mary ann tremayne (the child died shortly after birth and was buried in Melbourne, and her parents married there about 6 months later).... burial 17.5.1849. ref. 1854/bv0124 buried 17.5.1849 died 14.5.1849 her parents were mary ann tremayne, not yet married to edward evans. even tho she called the child evans. now, to me, it seems that the burial was not 'registered' until 1854. why? the child was born to mary, who is seems came here to chase up her errant fiancee. he got a free trip here. the child died a few days after birth. captains report says she had child on board. other rellies dispute this. i reckon she did, it WAS her, as why would another mary call it mary tremayne evans. only mary tremayne would do that surely. mary smith or jones would not....!!! any bright ideas on this? robyn shaw.toowoomba. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dianne Hughes" <billndi2@bigpond.com> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 8:11 PM Subject: [GEELONG] Robertson, Mary - born at sea > I can't remember who was inquiring about Mary Robertson who appears on the Victorian Pioneer Index as "born at Sea".
