Dizaine", 171 names were left with no corresponding baptism and consequently 
no known parents, 91 boys and 80 girls.
 
The information recorded for each child includes: 
 
 date of burial
 church of burial
 age at burial
 Christian name
 family name 
 year of birth
 
The list is ordered alphabetically by surname. 
 
These Births from Burials account for 3% of the "Troisieme Dizaine".
 
The vast majority of the records came from either St Phillips Sydney or 
St Johns Parramatta but there were a smattering from other churches as the 
table below shows.

The Christian names of the two children Jones & Raynor unfortunately 
were not recorded. Likewise the child Wood had no Christian name recorded but 
was noted as being a girl.
 
In eight instances the age at death was not recorded, only the nondescript 
'infant'. All eight were from St Johns Parramatta. In all these cases the year 
of birth has been assumed to be the year of death. For the remainder the ages 
ranged from 1 day for John Green to 19 years for Edward Hogan. For the older 
children it cannot be said with certainty that they were colonial born.
 
Where the surname as a second name separated by a slash '/', the surname after 
the slash is an alternative spelling interpretation of how the name was spelt 
on the original document.
