Thanks for the reminder. I will check out the other leads. I also get the difference now between the index and the actual certificates. Thanks again.

Found a birth announcement "On the 6th inst., Mrs. James Stanway, Sturt-street, Adelaide, of a daughter. 7 SEP 1857 in the South Australian Register. If this is them they sure got around but might explain why the death isn't in Geelong.

It doesnt look like them.
The Mrs James Stanway in SA is a Mary Grace (Stephens), the daughter Annie born 6 Sep 1857 (ADE 11/124).

That couple,  (Mr & Mrs James STANWAY) were in South Australia for many years, with babies born throughout the 1860s and into the 1870s ....

Mary Grace STANWAY died in 1875.   

The baby born in 1857 sadly succumbed the same year.

Thanks Spike and majam. It looks like my James Stanaway was only in Victoria and left from there in 1858. I have emailed the PRV to see if there is any significance in 005 under the field for a child's name. I will let you know when they respond in case anyone else has the same question. Thanks again.
