Tasmanian BROWNE Family - completed

[chell]

I also replied to the last post but it didn't come up so I must have done something wrong. Sorry. I hadn't noticed that the reference number was the same for Frederick and male - thanks for pointing that out. There were definitely twins though  so it will be interesting to get the certificate to confirm it ( or deny me my beliefs?). I wonder why they have the same registration? I definitely have to get my hands on my grandmothers box of tricks about family and at least photocopy what is in there rather than relying on my visits to Queensland to go through the box. Would make much more sense.

I have just rechecked the Registration numbers for Frederick William Browne and his sibling born the same day. I left out an A in the registation for Frederick William Browne. It should read as follows.

FREDERICK WILLIAM BROWN   born   25/5/1847   RGD 335A/1847   OATLANDS.

NAME UNKNOWN. MALE   born    25/4/1847    RDG 335/1847    OATLANDS.

          Sorry Johngirl

Good on you Johngirl.

Thanks Sue. That makes sense to me now. Will let you all know how I go once I have the certificates.

So So So Sorry about that.I can check the Baptism Record for the Oatlands District next time I go to the Archives. They may have the baptism record for the unamed but named at the time of the baptism if you understand my meaning. Some children were not named in the records of birth but named when they were Baptised.

Hi,
Bit of an aside.
I have a friend who did not know she was having twins until the delivery doctor said,
"Hold on, there is another one!."
Now, this was as recently as the 1980's

It strikes me that this could very well have been the situation in this case and they simply needed time to think of a name for a second boy!

You might well be on the money there Sue. They might have been in shock. Will be interesting to see if anything comes up in the baptism records. thanks for the offer of looking Johngirl.

Cheers
Michelle

Chell.
    I have looked for a death for your no named male but there is nothing     that even comes close. I also looked under Brown and only found a William and Thomas Brown that died in 1847 aged 0 .There is nothing that even comes close after that year.

Hi chell

"" I have him as James Arthur on all other records, including marriage certificate)""

What information do you hold on this man and what do you think you are wanting to know?

eg death and burial details? Place of employment and addresses?

If you have his marriage certificate, you will probably know a good deal.

''I have a feeling that Frederick William named one of his children with the middle name Marryatt ''

Do you now have the details of this child and his mother?
