LIST 2 - BIRTHS - MOTHERS SURNAME ORDER
This list contains the same information as in List 1 with the
exception that it is ordered on the mothers name rather than the
fathers. There are 4,269 births listed because the 1,315 cases where
the mother's surname is unknown and the 494 cases where the mother
arrived as a married women without her maiden name being known have
not been included.
The information recorded for each child includes:
date of birth
date of baptism
Christian name
mother's Christian name
mother's maiden name
mother's year of arrival in the colony
mother's ship of arrival in the colony
mother's status upon arrival in the colony
father's Christian name
father's family name
father's year of arrival in the colony
father's ship of arrival in the colony
father's status upon arrival in the colony
parent's civil status at the time of the child's birth
parent's marital status at the time of the child's birth
parent's year & country/church of marriage where
applicable
date of death
reference identifier
The births are listed primarily in alphabetical order on the name of
the mother and then secondly in chronological order on the date
of birth for family groups.
The date of death is an complimentary piece of information derived
from my earlier publication "Born in the English Colony of New South
Wales" further details of which can be found in that publication. In
some instances the date of death is unknown but the year of departure
is recorded, becoming 'dead' to the colony as it were.
With regard to the mothers, the identities of 71% have been found.
There were 2,025 convicts or former convicts (34%), 1,354 came free
(22%) and 1,193 colonial born (20%).
With regard to the children 52.4% were male and 47.6% were female,
40.7% were legitimate, 46.0% were illegitimate.
There are 160 duplicate and 8 triplicate entries on the list. These
have been preserved in order to be able to locate the relevant
baptism on the duplicated church register.
