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 1,440 births listed because the 
182 cases where the mother's name is unknown and the 178 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 86% have been found. There were 1,287 
convicts or former convicts (72%) and 263 came free (14%). 
 
With regard to the children 48.3% were male and 51.7% were female, 45.5% were legitimate, 
48.0% were illegitimate.
