Hi Bob May,
Thank you for your interest.
Unfortunately, " Early SA certificates don’t have a lot of information and it wasn’t until about 1910 that they started to include where a person had been born. And that was only what the person supplying the information knew. Sometimes the certificates after 1910, said unknown or the name of the country such as England instead of any useful information."
Regards,
Ross Stacey

Hi again all.
I am still looking for Robert Seward (or Shuard), born in Kent (not confirmed) in 1813.
He arrived in South australia in 1838 (not confirmed) aboard the Siren.
We have complete family history from 1838 onwards but have only family stories on the birth place in Kent. We can find no record of birth or christening.

Hi again all

I'm still looking for information about Bernard CONNOR, who migrated from Co. Meath, Ireland, to Australia in 1858 or thereabouts. In 1872, he was appointed constable in the Queensland police force. In 1873, he married Annie HANRAHAN at Springsure, near Emerald. Later, the family moved to Rockhampton where most of their eight children were born, and where some of their descendants might still live. Any snippets of information will be gratefully received.

Still looking for birth records for my GGrandfather Walter Pankhurst who was married in Kadina SA. Have not been able to find any birth details for him or his brother and sisters who were all married in SA. Found a death record for his sister Adelaide who married again and lived and died in QLD also found birth records for her children and on most of them the mothers name was listed as Adelaide Diana Purdy Pankhurst so was wondering if they were registered as Purdy Pankhurst and if that is the reason i Cant find them. also I have been able to find out if how and when my GG grandfather came to Australia. Have looked up the SA passenger lists shipping arrivals and immigration and all I can find is that Joseph Harward Pankhurst and wife Mary Ann arrived by 1842-12-31. source 5b. They were married in Sa so couldnt have arrived toghether . I have foun a Mary Purdey arrived in 1846 a year before they were married but can't find anything else for Joseph. is there any way of finding out more please Heather lLaverty

How do I direct reply to a comment? I wanted to reply to Geniaus, I downloaded TMG, and my word I hated it. Compared to Legacy's easy get around screen, easy on the eyes screens - lets face it if you're looking at something for hours you want it easy on the eyes, I just couldn't stand tmg and deleted the programme from my computer. Also TMG dumped an American Historical time line into my grandfathers file, considering he'd never been out of Australia, that was a real pain in the proverbial

, especially to get rid of. Sorry, I just don't like it. They all have their flaws, I guess the trick is to find one with the ones that least annoy you and go from there. I HAVE redone Legacy in larger fonts etc and with what facts I want in the main windows, so it's what I"M looking for. Only thing I don't like about it at all is it does not allow for same sex couples, religious reasons I think. But FTM does, and I have an old version of that, so I guess if I want to print a report etc with same sex couples, I dump into that and print. Other wise, until something better comes along I'll stick with Legacy. Don't get me wrong I thing TMG is a good price in comparrison to the others, but yeack, painful. Just an opinion, not asking everyone to take it on board, I've added a pic of a screen dump of Legacy, as you can see I've added cause of death on the main screen, and legacy also notes 1/2 siblings and who they belong to. Cheers Jo.
