What records do you access?

The records viewed are those held at the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages in Sydney Australia. These are digital images of the entries held in bound registers in Registration Number order (hence the importance of having the number). The records are the original entries in the register for Sydney Registration District, and the handwritten copy sent in by the District Registrar at the end of each quarter for other registration districts in NSW. A very few entries have deteriorated to the point where a typewritten copy has been made and the original register pages stored to prevent further damage. However, about 99 of the registers still contain the pages hand written by the Registrars decades ago.

I have access to two different types of records:

Early Church Records

Baptisms, Marriages and burials 1788-1856 (and some records after 1856). Partial Transcripts and Single Item Checks are not available for these records, as they have only limited information on them.

Civil registrations

Births 1856-1912. Marriages 1856-1962 and Deaths 1856-1982. Full Transcriptions, Partial Transcriptions, "Check & Verify" and Single Item transcriptions are available for these entries. There is usually significant genealogical information on these records.
