Hi Wendy,

https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=ge...

I found Sally HANINGTON, born in 1851, with parents Mary DESMOND and James (no surname).
I found Daniel HANINGTON, born in 1851, with parents Mary DESMOND and James (no surname).

Are you able to order, these births, online, from the above website?

I've tried Mary but they have both been lost. They are only indexed - no details. I thought I'd sent an email previously explaining the situation. It must have been gobbled up in cyberspace.

Mary the births of Sally and Daniel are indexed only and not available. However, I found out while in Geelong that the Catholic Church back in the 1800s didn't believe children needed to be registered with BDM so they recorded their date of birth on the Baptisimal Certificate.

I managed to get access to the Baptisimal Certificate details and now the dates of birth of both Sally and Daniel.

While in Victoria I also found the graves of my ggrandfather, John McIntosh and the grave of my gggrandparents Mary and James Harrington. I also fund the church where my John and Sarah McIntosh were married and where Sarah (Sally) was baptised. I also have additional information about where they all lived in Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. It was a very successful trip.

Hi Wendy,

Great news. They were the twins, from memory.

If there is anything else that you need help with, just put up a message on here.

It's very interesting Mary because they weren't in fact twins. They were baptised on the same day but Sarah (Sally) was born on 1st September 1849 and Daniel was born on 4th November 1850. These birthdates were recorded on the baptisimal records.

Thanks once again for your help. I would not have found most of these facts out if it hadn't been for the help you gave me.
