Agh ...  a William BOYD, aged 33, a Bachelor of Sydney and the Paymaster for the 3rd Regiment of foot, married Elizabeth PENDERGAST who was aged 24 and a spinster.  They were married 14 October 1826, by Rev Richard Hill, St James C of E, Sydney.  Witnesses were George Gilling MILLS and Hannah JONES, both of George Street.
 
Marriage registered three times at NSW BDM...  :)

JM

He died at Bhagulphore (which I think would be on the Sub-continent, ie where the Buffs went after finishing tour of duty here) 31 December 1828 ...

Hi JM,  I totally agree that Charles the baker could be a totally different Charles Lewis.
Everyone I have spoken to in family research has him as being Joseph's father, probably only because he was a baker, and the age fits, I really don't know?
They do not have any paperwork to verify this.
That is why I would like to either rule him in or out as being Joseph's father, instead of just speculating.
I have noted your questions and might have to invest in some more certificates.
I was looking through my Lewis family research and noticed there was a Louisa Sawyer that was a teacher at Fitz's Valley school, more coincidences?

Yes,  there could be quite a few NSW certs ....  the official transcriptions are excellent alternative to the real deal expensive certs.

Yes I will only get transcriptions.

Unfortunately I am finding with checking the Boyd family history that there doesn't seem to be any knowledge of who Elizabeth Lewis is?

I suppose it's like that with most family history though that the main line is researched with much more vigor than it's many branches?

There were two Charles Lewis that were researched, one died in 1868 Liverpool, and another 1852, both these Charles were eliminated as not being the one that married Mary A. re marriages, occupations etc.

Please read reply #202 and carefully check the d.c. for  Joseph  LEWIS ..... are you sure his mother is named on the Registrar General's record?  If so,  there is an obvious error in the online index and it can be adjusted IF NSWBDM is advised about it.

Joseph's d.c. states father, Charles Lewis, Mother Smith,  the informant was a friend of the family.

His birth registration in 1832 states parents Charles Lewis and Mary Ann,  FHL no# 993950.

So I would guess without being too speculative that the two registrations would put his parents as Charles Lewis and Mary Ann Smith?

May I suggest you consider contacting the transcription agent and ask them to follow up and organise for the NSW BDM online index for d.c. 7235/1889 for Joseph LEWIS to be updated, removing the displayed info under the heading for Mother's given name, ('died West Macquarie') and replacing it with 'Mary' .  I have found transcription agents to be very thorough and I am sure they will appreciate the importance of organising the correction to the NSW BDM without causing any hassles for the staff at NSW BDM.

That 1832 record is better referred to as a Baptism, rather than a birth registration.  Birth registrations commence in NSW with the Registrar General's office, 1 March 1856.

My copy of the transcription 1889/7235,  doesn't have (died West Macquarie) under the heading for the mothers name?
