The 17 year old Jane GILL on the Maitland, Nov 1838 is from Beckley Sussex  as per the NSW SRO's  list I linked earlier

I think possibly some new record has been set by this OP.. She has managed to get through 8 years of questions on Rootschat, re her family tree with astounding research done by a whole heap of gifted people.. In that period of questions and answers she has managed to NOT thank anyone for their valuable time and effort and rarely replies in the affirmative..

Thanks, JM - I only looked properly at the other record which doesn't show the county.   

Neil, I don't think you are correct - careful reading of posts on this thread and others show differently.

I will correct myself and apologise, there is one on this thread. Many others have not had one, nor has the OP gone back and ended the thread after much research on the part of others, just left it hanging.

KMW, you have my deepest apologies. Judith thank you for your insight and check.

That Maitland list is rather curious.

They count people by religion as

" Protestant
 
 Wesleyan

 Protestant

 Methodist Protestant"

Susannah Gill from family talks was born 17th March 1842 in Woodville, NSW. We cannot find a record of her birth. We have her death certificate but wanting to try and get her birth certificate. is there anyway anyone can help.

There is no record of her Baptism on the NSW records. Birth Certificates were not issued in this period. Wesleyan Church Records for West Maitland (read MAITLAND) may still be available. There is a fellow who has written a book on the GILL family of Woodville, he may have a record. I have attempted to contact him but so far I have been unsuccessful. Some records were kept by Mr Lang of Dunmore estate as many of Woodville settlers were on leaseholds to him. Also the family had connections to the Wallalong community adjacent so some records could be there via the Maitland Historical society.

This is a notice in The Daily Maitland Mercury of 1909 which states that Miss Susannah GILL daughter of Mr William GILL of DUNMORE was the first Marriage in the NEW Wesleyan Church at West Maitland 21 st January 1859.

Hummmm This could be her

SUSANNAH CHAPMAN   FATHER WILLIAM MOTHER SUSANNAH   REF # 1222/1842 V18421222 26A

My reasoning in placing this Baptism record up for thought was it could just BE a transcription error by a person doing the transferring to NSW BDM records. JM may have some thought's? The name CHAPMAN could be from the line above or below and accidentally used instead of GILL.

I find coincidences sometimes have a greater bearing on fact if you are willing to recheck. ODD that everything matches except the SURNAME.

There are however a family with that surname having children in that period. I wonder if they got a child from the Gill Parents via a transcription error. I haven't yet checked marriages or deaths for this Susannah?

I am not  sure what is curious about that; afterall the likely reason for the ship's list to need to know this information would be to ensure the ship can provide for the different Church services on board.     Many 19th Century passenger lists into Sydney from 'overseas' show similar information; afterall, the distance was measured in time taken, so there would have been many Sundays on board.
