Joseph Smith DOB 1815

By the way, have you ordered the cert via a transcription agent as they are a lot cheaper than buying direct from NSW BMD.

I'm very slow on the uptake Di.
Just noticed this comment.
I don't have too many Oz rellies but I have a few. 
Can you clarify "transcription agent"

That Marrickville death in 1892 has "unknown" for both father and mother

Hiya (Blonde) Dave, 

Transcription Agents Info here:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,300394.0.html

They provide an excellent service and will email the transcript to you if you don't want to wait for the snail mail.

I'm into anything that will save money

If you are going to chat over here Dave - you had best learn the lingo of those descended from the population of the UK who had the good sense to accept a government trip to other Climes 

Costs us an arm and leg to purchase BDM records over here - transcriptions are the cheaper option and you can still buy 5 from scotland for the price of 1 over here. It is also quicker to buy certificates from England (in Australia) than to buy them from Australian registeries - hence Di's comment cheaper and faster if a transcript is available.

Hi susan

I would think the IOL  may still be a way of writing TOL - but the time is interesting.  Convicts needed permission to marry (and if a record can be found it should include the name of his wife to be) - however there were "convict exiles" who arrived after 1846 that instantly received Ticket of leave. 
Some indexes at the archives mentioned by Di that may help - but as you know there are many Joseph Smiths!  Finding a "permission to marry" if he was a convict, would be most useful

There only seems to be 1 convict exile Joseph Smith - but he went to Moreton Bay - may have stayed in Queensland.

Was the fact that Mary was a free immigrant also on the marriage record? or have  you simply traced her immigration?

Ancestry have just released a data base of Convicts permission to marry for NSW but 1826-1851 only. No sign of this couple, but quite a few Joseph Smiths born c. 1818

Im thinking that the IOL is a typo too, But i still want to be sure, what do you mean the time is interesting??

Yes it does say that mary was a free immigrant on the marriage certificate.

im pretty positive he was born in 1815....
