Found on Ancestry, birth information for Margaret Fitzpatrick b 23/7/1835 Sydney.
I cannot confirm this in NSW BMD, she appears nowhere. Her marriage to William Bell in 1853 is there. Where to next? any help appreciated.

Hi there,
Welcome to RootsChat.
I can see a submitted tree with Margaret's birth as 23 Jul 1835, Sydney, New South Wales, but it does not give the source for that. They have her parents as Thomas FITZPATRICK 1801-1868 and Mary WALSH 1802-1882.
Where to next :) :) :) ... Some thoughts
;) Have you contacted the tree owner to ask for their source, perhaps offering to share the information you have on Margaret with them to compare notes?

Thanks JM
The owner of tree not visable privacy thing
Same info on Family search
Family don't know anything asked me to research (my hobby)
There is some history re Fitzpatrick family Pitt Town and Emu Plains, none mention Margaret.
Trove yielded nothing
Margaret & Williams marriage info available to view thru LDS F H Centre. Shall check when I get back from Holidays. hopefully something new
The last childs birth cert should contain all previous births. Again will check after hols. Away cruising
Thankyou for your other info. will investigate.

:D Hopefully the three public member trees will still be available to view when you return from your cruising ... :) and you can contact them directly then.
;) Re familysearch, I was not looking at the submitted information, but suggesting the Records search option... It can be helpful as an alternative to the NSW BDM's Early Church Records ...
Happy New Year,
Fingers crossed that the stabilisers are set for your cruising, if there's any rough weather ahead...
