Hi Kishtu,
Hard to read some of this - very faint.  Also I just have a few minutes - busy.. translation is not great - but at least someone else might be able to work on it.
Latin version? What I can see...lol
"Anno Domine millesimo octtogentisimo quinqquagesimo  ?  mensis Maji Ego Martinus Griver Capellanus  ?  Ecclesia  ? ?  Perthensis baptizasi infantem natam die decima giun  marti? ultimi  en Guglielmo et Maria Wagstaff conjugitus ? cui inquisittium est nomen Elizabeth  Matrina? fact? Maria filia parentum  baptizata
Martinus Griver   ?"

Very rough translation -
In the Year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifty ??? month of May I Martin Griver, ?Chaplain  ?church  ?? Perth, baptised a child born 10th day of June  ?  ? ? William and Mary Wagstaff, married  ? who asked her to be named Elizabeth ??  ?  Mary daughter parent baptized.
Martin Griver ?"
??? Child appears to be baptised before it was born??? hmmm...
Hope you get something out of it
Cheers - good luck

First one
It’s trimmed at the sides which doesn’t help.

 ???entina mensis Februarii ego Venantin? Garrido Presbyter  Immaculata Conceptionis B.V. Maria civitatis Perthensis

Perhaps the date was 14th February 185?
Priest Venantin ? Garrido
Church Immaculate Conception of Blessed Virgin Mary, Perth *there is a chapel apparently if you Search internet - not the cathedral.

 ??? quarta  ??? natam ex Joannes Morris? Et Maria Anna ? Wagstaff (written later)

Born from/to John Morris and Mary Ann

 ???jugibus  ??? civitatis cui impo?itum  ??? nomen Elizabeth.

Possibly that they were married legally or by civil marriage
child called Elizabeth

 ???

Sponsor might be Maria/Mary Murphy .... ???

Signed by priest as mentioned earlier. - Venantius Garrido

I am not too good at this  ;) I just wanted to have a go.

Good luck

I’ve done the first one for you - just enlarging on heywood’s transcript.

But, as has been said, there is text missing from both sides. Some of it’s guessable (in square brackets), but the missing parts include the date (rather important!), and much more besides.

I’m reluctant to spend more time without seeing the full text for all 3 images.

wow thank you everyone
Its 100% better than my attempt, unfortunately I'm unable to get the full documents they are really large and it was hard to get these small enough to download onto rootschat
Thanks again
