Hi there,
If you order an official transcription you will save dollars, and you will receive a family history document as a pdf file that has all the info already typed up, matching the certified watermarked document from NSW BDM. Those official transcriptions are accepted by all family history groups, including peak state bodies. Here is the NSW Resources Board live link.

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,300394.0.htmlWivenhoe already posted the info for that 1865 birth registration at reply # 57 and I had noted that 1864 marriage at reply # 56.
What to expect on an 1864 NSW BDM birth registration: Here are the headings from a NSW bdm birth cert registered in 1867, close enough
.
Date and place of birth
Name and whether present or not
Sex
Father's name, occupation, age and birthplace
Date and place of Marriage - previous issue
Mother's name, maiden name, age and birthplaceInformant (JM notes this igives the name, relationship and address, usually it is one of the parents, but it can be an older sibling, a grandparent, other close relative, a neighbour, landlord, midwife, etc).
Witness (1) (2) (3) (JM notes 1 is reserved for doctor, 2 is reserved for Midwife and 3 is for an assistant to either 1 or 2 - eg 3 is for the helper supporting the baby's mum).
Particulars of Registration - this is for the Deputy Registrar at the local office to complete - name, date, locality.
Name if added after registration of birth. So if you order the 1865 birth you will learn about of the details the INFORMANT provided to the local deputy registrar. The information was given orally.
At last I can see the birth for George H Brown 1865.
I see he and wife Mabel Herring had a son and two daughters. (Ancestry tree)
The youngest called Annie Frances Sophia ( probably doesn't mean a thing)
If I ordered a Birth cert for George is it likely to give me any information about Ann Smith/Briggs?
I also found a marriage for Simon Brown and Ann Frances Bryan in 1864. Reg no 3451
