Don, thank you for this defintive answer. I have just come up against the
same problem, today I started to try and help someone else with family
history and two of the children's births were registered at Kingston, two
at Newtown and the rest at Sydney. It's quite funny because I've been
reading the answers on the list and wondering just where this place would
end up being and I come across it and then read your answer. Again thanks
very much this answer has come at just the right moment for me. Leonie
