You would be looking for a baptism as civil registration commenced 1856 in NSW .
Prior to that baptisms, marriages and burials were recorded in church registers.

I am guessing this is her obit?

The 1895 article referred to:

"...and was one of a family of nine..."

I can count baptisms for 11 children - one born every year, but there is a three year gap between Henry in 1840 and Albert in 1843.  She may not have been baptised, but it seems more likely that either it wasn't recorded, wasn't passed on to Sydney or has been missed from the indexes.

If you have access to the Archives Resources Kit at libraries and Family history societies you can go through the registers yourself.  Henry's baptism is on microfilm 5006 which also includes 1841, and film 5007 is 1842.

We know Susannah Gill parents were William and Susannah (nee Creed) and they had fifteen children. Ten of the children were born in England. Five were born in Australia. I am a bit confused as Susannah was born in March 1842 and her brother James was also born in July 1842. Cant find her birth anywhere.Maybe our information is wrong. Can anyone help with this

OK, so we have two families mixed up here 

James GILL was baptised in 1844.

Is your ancestor Susannah born c1842 who married William Randel FOSTER at Maitland in 1859? 

Do you have the marriage cert or her death cert?

It looks like Sarah (1839), Susannah (c1842), James (1844), Martha (1847), and Eliza (1848) were the children of William GILL and Susannah CREED and the other seven children probably belonged to the couple who married in Sydney. 

So there is still a three year gap between Sarah and James and the films are the same, 5006 (1840/1841) and 5007 (1842/1843).

Sarah and James are in the C of E registers and Martha and Eliza in the Wesleyan.
