Hi all,

Searching for Jack Lindsay HUXLEY's birth around 1912 in Sydney. He spent most of his time in Newtown/Marrickville area when young I think.

His parents are listed as Thomas and Elizabeth Huxley (Perkins).

Many thanks in advance,

Mac

Is Jack a nickname or short name?  I can't find a birth record but I can see a marriage record in this name.

Unsure, its Jack on his wedding certificate. He married Mary Crippin in 1939. The family story is that he was a foster child but haven't been able to confirm it. He may have been born a different name perhaps John.
Thanks for looking at this for me.

Searching for Jack Lindsay HUXLEY's birth around 1912 in Sydney.  Mac

Mac, the NSW BDM online only goes to 1910 at the moment.  Perhaps someone who has the CD may be able to look it up for you.
The other option would be to hope there was a newspaper announcement of his birth, via TROVE.

Are you sure it was as late as 1912?  And that Thomas and Elizabeth were his parents?
Searching 1900-1910, there are only 12 Huxley births in NSW, and this is the nearest one, for matching names:

3669/1900  HUXLEY  JACK father PATRICK mother ELIZABETH  GULGONG   

Gulgong is in country NSW, probably about 300km from Sydney.

Thanks for help Dawn,
On his marriage certificate it says he was 27 in 1939. That's all I have to on.
It's a bit of a mystery wether he was born a Huxley, but his parents are listed as Thomas and Elizabeth Huxley
Thanks,
Mac

Yes I saw all that re his age etc.
But he may have given a wrong age when he got married - my g-grandfather got married at second time and gave his age at about 10 years younger than he really was, because his new bride was a lot younger than he was!

And his father may have gone by two christian names - a lot of people seemed to.

Another thing to think of is - who registered the birth?  In my mum's family we couldn't work out why many of her mother's siblings were registered with Denis as the father's name instead of Patrick. Then someone suggested that as Patrick had registered them all, it might have been that the Clerk of the Court asked "Father's name?" and Patrick gave his own father's name instead of his!

apologies for this long post.   Also my ISP has bigger de pong issues so this post is 2 finger typed from wif reader tablet and I cant figure paragraph breaks ........   Syd to Fbs 1930s RAIL best option.    FBS mail dep Central 10 pm ish daily with early eds of next days pprs plus Qst and Wnd class and SLEEPER cariages.    He would be country born to be selected country rep.  Country ie outside thr original 19 counties so inculde Penrith as poss birth....   Stanmore would mean hee likely trained during week at Henson Park with Newtown........              Para.... 
did he serve in WW2 ... check NNN online papeers/records ......            Example from my own knowledge ...  lad born 1909  his fathr dies WW1... mum remarries.... more babies.... 1909 lad grows upp gets apprenticeship after pprwork issues were resolved by step dad who re reg birth ...    both b.c. show on line as more than 100 years sine birth.  Second cert has name of birth dad and all details for FOSTER dad and all details for lads mum in full.   Chers  sorry for spell errors as well   JM  Clunky JM    NNN should be NAA Could be one week before ISP can restore cable   heere.
