NSW BDM's own website : http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/family-history/family-history.aspx  Scroll down to the heading "Ask a family history transcription agent"

Any of those three are excellent.

Yes, I agree with Debra and Jamjar.  Wait until the real deal cert arrives before proceeding.

Yes, agree Debra re Ruby E, but the Katoomba listing shows there's more than one chap named Charles H RICHARDS....

I have not found where Eliza WOOLLEY's husband (William Philip WOOLLEY) was buried...

I am very doubtful about the following chap, there's simply so many chaps named William Philip WOOLLEY in NSW in that era...

I was able to get a photo of Eliza James headstone which said she was 57 years old when she died. This means she was born 1874 or 1875. She is buried at eastern suburbs memorial park matraville with daughter grace James. I am still waiting for the birth certificate I ordered from bdm. I am hoping it will be emailed to me today so I find out more about Jane Richards.

I have just received the birth certificate for a daughter of Jane Eliza Woolley and Charles Richards.
Dorothy Elice Richards was born 21 December 1902 in Plymouth Street Enfield, NSW.
Mother: Jane Eliza Woolley age 32 years, born at Orange NSW.
Father: Charles Henry Richards, Labourer General, age 35 years, born Enfield, NSW.
They were not married and there are no other children listed .
Informant name and address: J. Richards, Plymouth Street, Enfield, NSW, Mother
The birth was registered 9th February 1903
From the information on the birth certificate it is obvious that Jane Eliza Woolley was born abt 1870 in Orange NSW. It is a shame the other children weren't listed on Dorothy's birth certificate but at least I know that Jane wasn't born in 1874. The information on the headstone for Eliza Jane Woolley is incorrect as her name was Jane Eliza and the birth year is wrong also.
Not sure what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards

I still think that there is a good chance that Jane was the daughter of William P WOOLLEY and Eliza THEOBALD as there is a spot for her between Walter in 1868 (Moama) and Thomas in 1872 (Queensland).  Just my opinion, but I would want to prove once and for all whether or not she was a part of that family.

You do need to get another certificate, the choices being the birth cert of one of the children of William and Eliza which should name previous issue.   The birth cert for the youngest is always preferable as you may also find that others missed registration.  This info will be of value if they do turn out to be yours.

The death cert for William or Eliza which should name all of their children and show their position in the family, or the death cert for your Jane to see if her mother's maiden name is recorded.  Death certs can be very good or a load of old cobblers, depending on who the informant was, so it is a bit of a lucky dip.

Ummm.....

NSW ER 1902 PARKES Polling at Enfield
All these are surnamed RICHARDS
Adelaide, Plymouth Street, domestic duties
Annie Harriett, Heydon Street, domestic duties
Charles Henry, Plymouth Street, labourer
Frederick, Baker Street, labourer
Harriett, George Street, domestic duties
Jane Eliza, Baker Street, domestic duties
Josiah William, George Street, train examiner
Patience Eliza, Baker Street, domestic duties
Mary, Burwood Road, domestic duties
William, Burwood Road, fencer
William James, Plymouth Street, labourer.
NONE for that polling place (Enfield) with surname WOOLLEY or similar.

So there's at least two lasses with surname RICHARDS in same electorate,  in 1902 .... 1902, first roll with females.    I will try to find spare moment tomorrow to go through each polling place in that electorate.  Alternatively, I recall there's perhaps commercial family history websites with the 1903-4 NSW rolls. 

There's Woolley males in Orange in 1870 roll
