Hi Johnno I did find a few of the siblings registered: John Daylesford 1864 (reg no 14667) Ellen (Carolam) Kyneton 1867 (reg no 2820) Joseph (Carolin) Eganstown 1870 (reg no 15531) Frances (Carolin) 1873 (reg no 2205) and Daniel 1879 (reg no 8930) Haven't tracked down Thomas (abt 1861), Catherine Mary (abt 1863), Margaret (1870-72), Charles (abt 1772) - it seems strange that some would be registered and some not, don't you think? Kind regards Stephanie Yep. I put in a bit of a shocker there. My apologies to all. I also have an ancestor who it seems never got registered - I guess at times people were too busy getting on with the business of survival to bother complying. But you never know, something may turn up one day. Cheers, Johnno. jstt at alphalink dot com dot au
