Hi MGNV, I think i'll have to order his death cert. I would like to know how he died and how he ended in Austrailia. I think with all the info i've found and been given he must have still been working on the ships.. I may never find this out for sure.

Jaqueline, yes I think you're right. I will order their marriage cert. I did wonder about who would register the birth back in those days. I don't suppose they both had to be there like today or even the mother??

Either parent can register a birth nowadays, just as they could then.

The only difference is where the parents are unmarried, in which case, if the father wishes to be named on the birth cert, he must attend with the mother, or sign a declaration affirming his wish to be identified as the child's father.

My 2x gt grandfather was registered in 1844 by his father.... The mothers details said Mary Ann Smith formally parsons

Parsons was her maiden name but she was supposed to be married to someone else as they didn't marry for another 20 years but my 3x gt grandfather decided to make out they were already married

Researching:
Nothing much
