Queensland Births 1829-1919

There are over 930,000 births in these records. Registration for births, marriages, and deaths became mandatory in Queensland (while it was still part of New South Wales) on 1 March 1856. As Queensland was not made a separate colony from New South Wales until 1859, some events may have been registered in New South Wales. Additionally, you may want to search a range of dates considering that births may have been registered at a later date from when the actual birth occurred. For example, if a birth occurred in December of a given year, it might not have been registered until January of the following year.
