LIST 2 - BIRTHS - MOTHERS NAME 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 only 6,983 
births listed because the 884 cases where the mother's surname is unknown and 
the 770 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.
 
Where the mother's surname has a second name separated by a slash, the 
surname after the slash is her married name. In the case of multiple marriages 
the surname refers to her latest marriage.
 
The date of death is an complimentary piece of information derived from 
personal research. 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 87% have been found. There 
were 24% convicts or former convicts, 31% came free and 32% colonial born. 
 
With regard to the children 21% were illegitimate.
 
There are 148 duplicate and 3 triplicate entries on the list. These have 
been preserved on the list in order to be able to locate the relevant baptism 
on the duplicated church register.
