It looks like his actual Birth is registered in Australia Melbourne NSW 1836 s of Alfred and Jane Lingham. Strangely redone at Melbourne 1841.
Sister Eliza Matilda 5.1.1839 and Adelaide Emily born and died 1841.

Children births registered in Australia
•   Edward Fraser LINGHAM birth registered in 1841 (born at sea 22 Aug 1836)
•   Eliza Matilda LINGHAM birth registered in 1841 Melbourne Beach (born 1839)
•   Adelaide Emily LINGHAM birth registered in 1841 Melbourne Beach; died at 8 months in 1841.

These are baptisms, not birth registrations, there was no civil registration at that time.

Great research, Neale!

I concur!

Thanks Debra. I did realise they were baptisms - as seen on FamilySearch. I was trying to indicate that if the OP wanted to acquire the actual documents they were registered (recorded) in Australia.
