Historic Gaol Notice

[rbangorreg]

From a notice at the historic log goal,.
     The registrar of Births and Deaths is instructed in registering a birth at a gaol to enter locality of birth without stating that the birth occurred at a gaol; also the description of the informant is to be given as "Authorised Agent" instead of "Warder" and he should  give his private address as it is desired that there should be no reference the gaol.
              Office of the Government Statist date 15th April
 and it looks like 1881?

Thanks Reg - that's amazing!

Actual real live consideration by a Government employee - wonders will never cease. 

Although it may be a tad confusing for the family historians who believe their ancestor was actually born/died a free person.

Hi Di,
      That's what I was thinking, also dose it mean that the birth place would be recorded as the Registrar's "private address", or the birth mothers "private address"? guess we will never know.
