Hi all, Judy - you obtained a "History Certificate" - was that one of those fancy commemoravtive certificates? If it was then I suggest that the date of birth was incorrectly transcribed from the original document - and you should seek to obtain either a refund of your fee or a correct certificate. good luck Robert in Melbourne On 21/07/2011 1:56 PM, Judith Acaster wrote: > Many thanks to Marita, Robyn, Lyn, Tom, Chris and Rowena!

Often the registrars didn't register births & deaths which were at the end of the year until the first quarter of the next year.. Because your mother was born in December 1918 her birth appeared in the 1919 indexes. Dianne Hughes

Hi Robert, Well, it did not look too fancy to me, but it did cost an arm and a leg! I shall contact the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages and endeavor to sort it out. I think I have done enough homework to present a case? Thanks Robert, for joining the discussion..........Judy On 21/07/2011, at 5:34 PM, robert.j wrote: > Hi all, > > Judy - you obtained a "History Certificate" - was that one of those > fancy commemoravtive certificates?

Many thanks to Marita, Robyn, Lyn, Tom, Chris and Rowena! I do have my grandfather's war record - and have read all the naughty things he did - but did not check before contacting the List - otherwise I would have seen that he arrived with his wife on board the 'Bremen' on 25.7.1919 - having left the UK on 4.6.1918 I really want to view the passenger list for the 'Bremen' just to prove that they were actually on board, so that I can now contact the Victoria B.D.M. office and let them know that they have made an error on my mother's birth certificate! On a recent visit to Melbourne, I applied for various death certs which were issued over the counter. However, I was advised that my mother's birth certificate, would be posted to my address in Perth and that it would take a couple of weeks. After three weeks I received a request to furnish a certified copy of her death certificate. Did that, and then some weeks later, received the 'History Certificate'. Despite the Registration number 31136/1919, which I had found on Microfische - it stated that she was born on 20 December 1918 at St. Kilda. Could be - lots of fibs were told by my family on certificates. Her parents, William & Lillian HOLLIDAY were married on 2/11/1918 in Lambeth according to their marriage certificate. Possible to come to Australia in six weeks and arrive in time for a birth in December. However, if they arrived on the 'Bremen' on 25.7.1919 it would seem more likely that her birthday of 20.12.1919 would be correct. Just wanted to get my facts straight before requesting a new certificate. I would still like to see the passenger list for the Bremen. Would be interesting to see who else they came out with. I recall friends who were supposed to have been on the same ship. Thanks everyone. Knew you would set me straight. Cheers!............Judy. Perth W.Australia

Hi Judy, they came back on the Bremen. It's all there on page 45 of his army records, which are online at http://www.naa.gov.au. The previous page is their marriage certificate. Cheers.

Hi List, Not exactly Victorian Goldfields, but I know there are some fabulous, knowledgeable people on this List, who have extensive experience to share. My grandmother, Lillian May HOLLIDAY married in Lambeth in 1918 and then came to Melbourne on a 'troop ship' with her soldier husband, William Thomas Edward HOLLIDAY. He was a member of the AIF who had gone to Gallipoli in 1915, but was originally from Plumstead, UK. I have been looking for their date of departure/arrival and the ship that carried them to Australia. No luck! Can't find them anywhere and I know they didn't swim! Was just thinking that it was probably a military ship and may not show up on the ordinary Passenger Lists. Any thoughts, anyone? Cheers!........Judy Perth W.Australia

Hi, Thank you Sue Adam and P.J.Lyon for your info. Very much appreciated. Cheers,CarolS.A.

Hi Everyone, Sorry about my Last request. Catherine Daly born in Kings County, Ireland married James Edwards in 1848. James Edwards died in Sept 1865 according to second marriage certificate but I don't have a Reg. No for his death. Catherine Edwards 36 yrs then married James Allen in March 1870. Catherine Allen would have died after 16th June 1887. This info maybe easier to find her death. Thanking you,Carol S.A.

There's one that fits on pioneer index which finishes 1889 - died 1887 in Fitzroy (a Melb suburb). Aged in her 70s. Parents unknown. There will be lots more after that - we need more details, like her parents, approx year of birth etc. Dawn (Melbourne) ALLEN Catherine died parents both unknown Age: 72 Death Place: FITZROY Year: 1887 Reg Number: 1753 -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter J Richardson Sent: Tuesday, 12 July 2011 5:25 PM To: aus-vic-goldfields@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Catherine Allen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Kelsh" <carolkelsh@hotmail.com> To: <aus-vic-goldfields@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 6:27 AM Subject: Catherine Allen > Hi Listers, I Am wondering whether someone can find a Death for Catherine > Allen from 1887 onwards.

Good on you Virginia. I am pissed of with all the new rules and regulations, new light bulbs that don't go on immediatley, spell check that does not work on emails, television that as soon as a vistor touchs it refuses to work till next week, what happene dto 1 to12 the same with the radio, the final insult was whenthey wanted to stop us using the great war index after we raised the money a year or so before to buy the bloody thing, you can get most of the info from the newspaper of the day, regards Judy H

Hey Virginia & Rob, both very pertinent and very great suggestions/ideas, as I put bandaids on my back from kicking myself, that I too never thought of your great sharing ideas, well done.... and if you don’t mind I’d like to share your “Top Tips” with other Groups I belong to?

Hi List You have the option when you are receiving your census forms to receive a paper form or only e-census envelope. You need to make sure you ask for a census form and you will also receive a e-census envelope - so to preserve your census form - you fill out the form on census night and also go online and complete your census. That way you get to keep the completed census form, your census is recorded as being completed - and you should not see the census collector again! I did this last census 5years ago..filed away for posterity.

Hi List Could I make a bold suggestion to you all?? Given it is the Australian Census coming up in a few weeks - for the sake of posterity and research ease for our descendents - would you/could you consider making a copy of YOUR census (anyway you can - photo, scan, photocopy) and keep it in your files for privacy. (I got the idea from a UK list when they had their census last year!) Given the UK Census' are only released every 100yrs and I personally have not seen any Australian Census' - I am guessing that now that we can tick the box for it to be digitally recorded - it will still take 100yrs to be available. Naturally - your copy and your information on your census is not for public viewing - but in 30 or so more years - your descendents may be glad of the option to see it in your keepsake box! Just a thought!! I will be keeping a copy of mine!

Hi Elizabeth Yes I imagine so, if you are unsure of the identity. Really, it's best to contact Faithe, whose website it is and ask her. I think it's a relatively new website, and there aren't a lot of images on there yet. But, I posted on it to bring peoples' attention to it.

Dear List, This website was started to help people identify photos of Australian soldiers of World War 1. http://lostheroes.gravesecrets.net/index.html Many families have in their possession photographs of Heroes of the Great War that have no details to identify them. This website is for people to post photographs of Australians such as these in the hope that other members of the public have the same photograph and are able to help with identification. Photographs are listed by place of photographer. Photographic Studio is used as primary information, or the Battalion of the primary individual whose collection they came from. It is certainly worth a look, and hopefully you may be able to contribute. Kind regards, Rowena
