Well Carole here is the birth, which I think you already have REGAN Margaret born Father: James Mother: Bridget CONSIDINE Birth Place: SANDHURST Year: 1857 Reg Number: 7676 Sandhurst is present day Bendigo. And then this REGAN Margaret Died Father: James Mother: Bridget Age: 18M Birth Place: BEN Year: 1856 Reg Number: 3055 Note it is the probably the same person - same birthplace. You will need to buy the death cert to find out where she died, and of what, etc. I note that the years go in the wrong order - that she died before she was born according to this. I cannot explain that except to say the event year is the year in which it was registered NOT the year in which it took place - though sometimes they are cross referenced. I checked for other possible deaths, births etc but nothing fitted apart from this combination. On the face of it I would suggest she was 18 months old when she died 1856 and that later they found they had not registered the birth - and did so, about three years late! However, all may be revealed if you buy the certificate(s).

So many talented people on this list! I enjoy reading the "discoveries". James REGAN, my G G Grandfather (of Ballarat gold discovery fame with John DUNLOP) lost a child before he moved to Adamstown (Newcastle) NSW. She was not mentioned on the shipping list of William Watson in Jan 1863. James came solo on the same ship in June 1862. I have been unable to find her death! She was born on 1 Aug 1857 in Beechworth VIC but must have died before the "migration" to NSW in 1863. Is there anyone who can help me please? Hopefully in the future (2012/2013) I want to come to Ballarat and, if possible, join you at a meeting, if you have them. Or the Ballarat Historical/Family History Society. I look forward to anyone who may have some information ...............or who is a possible relative from other branches of the tree. Sincerely .......................
