NSW Baptism 1823 November 3 Mary Ellen - Edward & Elizabeth Moore - When Born: March 6, 1817 - Where Registered St. Luke's Liverpool B

NSW baptisms do not list place of birth.

 

[emeltee]

If the family were having her baptised in Australia, it rather implies that she hadn't been baptised in England. You don't normally baptise a child twice.

 

[DaveHam9]

I agree and no baptism can be found in NSW for eldest son.

I'm not sure which pay site holds the images.

 

[DaveHam9]

If an image of an early muster/census can be found it might list some children as BC and others as CF. But it may not name the children. They may be listed in a particular column with an age range heading.

B.C. for Born in the Colony.
C.F. for Came Free.
F.S. for Free by Servitude.
A.P. for Holding an Absolute Pardon.
C.P. for Holding a Ticket of Leave.
C. for Convict.
C.S. for Colonial Sentence.
G.S. for Government (or Assigned) Servant. (4)

There are two versions of the 1828 census - Australian copy and TNA copy both on A....

 

[DaveHam9]

FS also has the 1828 census but it only lists 2x and neither the one I want.
