Birth of LAWRENCE GORDON AGNEW

Well-spotted JM   

Of course JM means that 2 of the 4 births I mentioned have the same registration (and there is another one which I didn't bother to mention) but the other 2 births of Lawrence G have different
registration numbers.

Ros

No.    I did not mean that 2 of the 4 births have same registration.    There are three INDEXED ie with the same registration number, registered Forbes.

So ONE birth, three indexed entries, ONE certificate. 

JM

Yes JM - 2 of the 4 births I mentioned have the same registration (and there is another one which I didn't mention).

The other 2 births of Lawrence G have different registrations.

I'm sure that's what you meant to say.

Looking at births on March 12, 1916 in NSW
There is a Lawrence Mc* with only a mother named in Forbes. Perhaps he could have been adopted?

Ros

adding : and there are a couple of Lawrence G births on that date
             and a Laurence with only a mother named in Forbes

May I please add that these are all the ONE registration, and there's three entries in the index.  You can see these are all the same registration by looking at the registration number.   Once you have the registration number and the year you can test for all the indexed details by using the option at the online index " Yes" as you know the registration number.

JM

THREE entries in the index that have the same registration number, registered in the Forbes District, and these can be checked by using the YES option at the NSW BDM online index when you know the registration number.   The default option is NO.    The advantage for the YES option is once you find an entry at the online index, you can check to see if the same event has been indexed more than once.   I can find THREE entries at the online index for the lad whose birth was registered in the Forbes District.

(a couple plus one = three)

It would be interesting to see who he names on his marriage cert in 1949.... if one exisits?!

bitzar...

rusted if you decide to apply for a marriage certificate I suggest that you use the period around the time Alma notified the Electoral Commission her change of surname.
