Hi Marie..
Your post is all in CAPS and really hard to read..

Usually in genealogy we only post the SURNAMES in caps. (all caps is like yelling at people and most won't help you if you are yelling)

If you haven't had any replies it might be best to post on the Australian General Board.....in lower case..

This board is just for one small state in Australia...

Re: Duke Barker my grandfather

Sad_Mushroom — 2009-11-05 05:42:16Z

Hi,
You may have more luck if you post on the Queensland Board.
Also if you know the date of his birth/marriage,,OR even the dates of birth for his children it would give people an idea on where to look.

I think Duke may have been a nickname as I had a quick look and nothing.

The QLD (Queensland) BDM are online at
https://www.bdm.qld.gov.au/IndexSearch/BirIndexQry.m

and the Electoral Rolls on Ancestry go to 1954 now..

Hi,
There is no record of Robert's death in New South Wales up to 1978 or Victoria up to 1985. That leaves you with, Western Australia, Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland, Australian Capital Territory or Tasmania.
Good Luck.

Re: Liles family thread

fljbarnes — 2009-10-19 13:13:00Z

I am sorry I do not have much information at this point. Next time I make a trip to NC I will see what I can get. I think my Uncle Robert died in the late 50's and his wife Irene had already left him and taken the children back. Probably not much hope of finding them, I guess.

I waited too long to do this research. But I will touch base again after I make that trip.

Re: Liles family thread

alisonwilliams2763 — 2009-10-19 01:52:15Z

Hello,
A few dates might narrow the search. Have you any idea of where in Australia { ie which state} this is a pretty big country with separate data bases for each state?

Hi Gwen

You could try searching the Whitepages Telephone directory. It provides phone number and addresses.

I did a quick search and found only 2 X R. Nagy's in Queensland. One was actually listed as Rob...

No Naggy's in Qld.

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

corahlf — 2009-05-14 13:56:33Z

Very childish reaction Kellie and extememly rude, I suppose you know more than the National Archives of Australia.
Their factsheet 89 clearly states A.C.T Registrations prior to 1930 are maintained by the N.S.W Registrar. You can read it for yourself as I am enclosing the link.

http://www.naa.gov.au/about-us/publications/fact-sheets/fs89...

You might think you know everything but you don't know as much as you think.
You are entitled to you're opinion but you are sadly mistaken in this case.

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

corahlf — 2009-05-12 12:58:13Z

Kellie,You seem to have a problem grasping the fact that the A.C.T did not exist prior to 1901, you cannot record information for an area that does not exist.Perhaps you need a history lesson or a geography lesson.
To answer you question where were the registrations recorded , N.S.W, the area was N.S.W,the registrations prior to 1901 will be NSW registrations, they can't be anything else as the A.C.T DID NOT EXIST!!!

Leanne

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

corahlf — 2009-05-12 12:38:25Z

yes that is correct that A.C.T maintain their own records but Jane was asking for information on a time frame PRIOR to the A.C.T coming into being so therefore there would be no A.C.T records recorded until AFTER 1901 , they would be N.S.W records so please do not state :
"esp when people are telling you something they have no idea about..."
this is an ignorant statement to make.

Hi,
I just checked the NAA and seen the error..
The records are kept in Canberra...He would have arrived in Sydney NSW..

There's not much apart from checking the phonebook
http://whitepages.com.au/wp/resSearch.do

NSW BDM might have something

Or maybe Ryerson Index

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

Sad_Mushroom — 2009-05-12 09:48:59Z

Hold on!!!
The ACT might not have come into being BUT when it did,,,,the ACT kept their BDM's to themselves...Just the same as NSW/VIC and NSW/QLD did...

Do NOT feel silly,,,,,esp when people are telling you something they have no idea about...

The ACT BDM's are not online but are kept by ACT BDM and you can apply for them...

Anyway,,Goulburn stuff would be kept there and not ACT,,,there is also church records for Goulburn..

Re: ACT Birth, Deaths , Marriages

Sad_Mushroom — 2009-05-12 02:59:06Z

They only allow Historical Deaths which is in EXCEL format.
ACT doesn't have BDM's online..

You could check out the newspapers, it has some Canberra Times stuff.
http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home

Or try sites like Monaro Pioneers
http://www.monaropioneers.com/

Canberra Cemeteries have some burials online
http://www.canberracemeteries.com.au/

Or Try www.internment.net it may have some.

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

Sad_Mushroom — 2009-05-12 12:49:53Z

so where are the ACT births registered??? OR marriages before 1901???

They are kept in ACT...Same as was done with NSW/VIC and NSW/QLD after the states were sorted...prior to their being too

The ACT BDM's are NOT recorded on NSW BDM....as they are held by ACT....
No matter what date it was,,,,,when the states divided,,,,the ACT stuff was held and kept by ACT and the NSW was kept in NSW...

IF not,,,then tell me why we do NOT see ACT BDM's in the NSW register???
I know of alot of BDM's both before and after and NOT ONE is listed in NSW...

That's cause in 1901 when they divided,,,,the BDM's were NOT online....

Since they did come online,,,,ACT had their own BDM's

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

Sad_Mushroom — 2009-05-14 10:00:48Z

Grow up!!!
Same as VIC and QLD as stated...
BEFORE they came online,,,,,as in NSW BDM...QLD and VIC and ACT took their BDM's back.

They are NOW kept by the state they were registered in...Do you have no idea about anything or just here to pass on your half info????????

ACT info is kept in ACT,,,,,stop ya babbling

Do you need me to post newspaper BDM's that are NOT on NSW BDM to prove it to you???

Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

Gymbo73 — 2009-03-17 08:25:55Z

This is probably a very silly question but I am having difficulty finding the birth details of two sisters born in Goulburn in the late 1800s. I have their death certificates through BDM NSW which lists their birth place as Goulburn but no details on BDM NSW regarding their births. Would the details be on BDM ACT? If so, how do I go about finding those? I looked at the site but couldn't see where I could search family history details as you can in NSW.

I'd be grateful for assistance from those who are more experienced than me in this!

Jane

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

Gymbo73 — 2009-03-18 06:40:06Z

Of course. Thank you. I feel VERY silly now.

Anyone have any bright ideas?

Re: Goulburn births recorded in ACT?

Gymbo73 — 2009-04-03 04:27:55Z

Thanks for the suggestion, Sybil. I will do that.

The names are: Annie (Anna) May Abbott and Amy Amelia Abbott. Both were married at some stage to William Herbert Langridge (not at the same time!). Amy was married to William first and died in 1919. Annie married him in 1923 and died in 1937. I just can't seem to find their birth details. Their death certificates state their parents as being Kate (on one) and Katherine/Catherine on the other - I can't remember if it was Katherine with a C or K and the certificates are in storage.

ACT is not holding BMD before 1927, Try Sydney , NSW from 1900 . Canberra was not started till 1927 . Melbourne was then Captail of Australia from 1901 till 1927. Canberra may be under the state of NSW before became ACT.
