Birth Courier South Australia 1850

[napier42]

Hi,could someone advise the date on a registered date of a birth certificate for august 30 1850,the child's name is Arthur robinson. we are wondering how long the registration was after his birth as their is confusion on where the Courier came from eg melbourne and then to adelaide. One other member has been working on the robinsons as we both have a direct ancestor.
thanks

I assume you are talking about the birth of Arthur ROBINSON onboard the ship 'COURIER' which I see appears on his birth registration in the indexes 

The ship 'COURIER' 1850 from MELBOURNE under Captain MELLIN arrived ADELAIDE, 22 December, 1850 with 22 passengers.

Some of the passengers were:

MELLIN, Mrs & child (I assume the captains family)
MacLOUGHLIN, R T Esq. - Surgeon
Mr Howe
McGRATH, Mrs & Family
THOMSON, & family
ROBINSON, Miss

Hi Napier42,

A Big Welcome to RootsChat 

Have you seen Wyanga's thread?

The information you require will only be available on the certificate. I hope someone is able to check it for you if you are unable to do so yourself. You can view the certificate yourself at the SAGHS or The Unley Library. Alternatively you can purchase the certificate or apply for a transcription of it. You will find links on our resources board.

Its one I am certainly curious about. I may have to try to get out to Unley myself when next in Adelaide if we don't have the answer by then.

Cheers Kris

Hi Kris, yes wyanga has been in contact passing inof on.The Courier ship "time arrival" and birth reg is unusual. I am in WA and if can sight the certificate at WAGS here I will. Will ring them.Catherine Fleming nee Robinson is the connection,. Family stories distort the picture some time. I thought I would try (somehow) and try to find Robert Robinson's will. Perhaps that would give more info about him??.
If you can sight the birth cert that would be fantastic, Iwill let you know if I am able to go in check it.

thanks a lot for your reply so promptly

Why do you think the Courier time arrival & birth reg is unusual?

Hi Merlin,

The thing we find a bit odd is in the other thread. The birth

Arthur 31 Aug 1850 aboard COURIER Ade 3 152

Yet the COURIER arrived from Melbourne 22 Dec after an apparent stop over in Melbourne of a month after the trip from London. We haven't found an earlier arrival to account for this family disembarking in Adelaide before the ship arrived in Melbourne, hence the curiosity of when the birth was registered. Seems a little peculiar that the family were possibly in Melbourne for a month before arriving in Adelaide, although given the only passenger list available this is not certain either. The date of registration will clarify this.   

Cheers Kris
