STOKES, Harriet - Birth SA, VIC or NSW? COMPLETED
« on: Monday 10 March 08 10:43 GMT (UK) »
A kind person sent me the IGI for Harriet Stokes, birthdate given as 1855.

It say she was born to James STOKES and Mary Ann nee FLEMMING, prob in VIC. Apparently parents married 24 MAR 1854  Campbell Creek, Victoria, Australia (could not find).

I have searched VIC indexes and paid to view index but there is no match. Could it be that VIC was still a part of NSW then? I checked the NSW index, no joy :(

The next couple of siblings were born in VIC, then SA.

Can anyone help? Brick wall hitting!

Thanks so much to any that can. I posted this as a new topic as is really a different q across other states.

A little more from the Vic bdm's -

STOKES Unnamed male
Father James Mother Mary Anne FLEEMING
at BALLAROOK  1858  Reg#6916

There is no birth of a Harriett between 1854 and 1858 to a James S* and Mary Ann F*. I have trawled the STOKES/STOCKES births for the period.

Cheers
