A mother for Wilfred Charles EVERITT

[Seaton Smithy]

There is certainly a marriage listed for a John Joseph EVERITT

Victoria, 1872, #4197
John Joseph EVERITT m Bridget Bertha C DEVERY

The birth found by Sue is obviously for this couple but whether it's your family..........
Sue, I think TARR might be an abbreviation for Tarrawingee in north-east Victoria?

I wonder if it would be worth getting the death certificate for Bertha, although I would think it's unlikely that Wilfred Charles would be mentioned as one of her children given the circumstances.

Victoria, 1934, #13907
Bertha Bridget Connors FINN, 80
Death Place:   Beechworth, Victoria
Father's Name:   Bernard Devery
Mother's Name:   Mary Connors
Estimated Birth Year:   abt 1854

Thanks, judb, this is the right family and all these things are already known.

Besides Bertha are there any other children to John Joseph and Bertha either in Victoria or NSW?
Also do you know what areas other branches of the family lived?

Re NSW BDM issues....  in 1880s the main effort in the Sydney Office (HQ) for NSW BDM was handling the incoming paperwork for the MARRIAGES 1856-1879 that had not yet been registered. 

Also, in the 1880s BIRTHS were registered by one or the other parent attending the local court house.  Then once a quarter a summary was to be forwarded by ordinary mail to the Reg-Gen in Sydney (at the Lands Office).  If a summary was NOT forwarded, then the clerks assumed there were NO births for that district.    Around  100 years later, when NSW BDM was being computerised, they recalled ALL court house registers to HQ.   Up until the 1980s, if you wanted your birth cert for "proof" of ID, you would usually just go along to the local court house and the clerk would look up the info in their local ledgers and (on payment of the appropriate fee) issue you an extract.   There was NO cross checking that the Sydney HQ actually held a copy of the original entry in the court house ledger.   

It is more than likely that there has not been sufficient funding dedicated to providing a full reconciliation between the court house registers and the summary registers prepared in the 1880s at the NSW BDM HQ.    I note that in interim 100 years throughout NSW there have been a number of floods, fires, and other adverse conditions affecting the storage of the court house registers, and sadly quite a number have been lost, if memory serves me rightly, quite a number in the 1930s were lost in and around Wagga, and Albury.

Yep, Everett, Everit and Evritt are other recorded spellings for the first generation of births in Aus with Everitt becoming the consistent version in later generations.

Sure - I have only one Mary Ann who was the older sister of Thomas, John and Edward, spelling of birth name recorded both as Everett and Everit.  She married George Darby and they had 10 children between 1860 and 1880 (last birth a daughter).  George died in Corowa in 1885, and Mary Ann died in St Kilda in 1926.  I don't believe she would of had a male child with the surname Everitt in Sydney in 1880.

John was the second born of the siblings and was born in Goulburn, so the family had left Sydney by then and continued south to the Albury/Corowa region after that.  I don't have record of any of the 10 siblings marrying or having a daughter called Mary Ann, so I don't believe the Mary Ann Everitt in that post is one of ours.
