LIST 16 - BIRTHS - TROISIEME DIZAINE - NORFOLK ISLAND

 
 
This thirteenth 'primary source' list contains the details of 10 births for 
children born at Norfolk Island between 1811 and 1813, 4 males and 6 females.
 
The information recorded for each child includes: 
 
 date of birth
 date of baptism
 Christian name
 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 
 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
 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 
 
The list is presented; firstly in chronological order by date of birth, secondly 
in alphabetical order upon father's family name. 
 
These Norfolk Island births account for less than 1% of the "Troisieme 
Dizaine".
 
The last remaining settlers of Norfolk Island were removed to Port Dalrymple 
in Van Diemens Land in January and February 1813 on board 'Lady Nelson' and 
'Minstrel'. The cleanup party under William Hutchinson and a few soldiers 
of the incoming 73rd Regiment were removed in 1814. Thus after twenty seven 
years of existence the first settlement of Norfolk Island came to an end.
 
The parents of Ann Bannister are unknown at this time as is the mother of John 
Meagher. Hannah & Mary Hutchinson and Thomas Sydes have baptismal records as 
well thus reducing the number of new individuals to seven.

should be more than one entry for that date which would certainly be the case 
of only the birth year were known.
