Thomas Davies Mutch: Card index to births,
deaths and marriages, 1787–1957
Mitchell Library
State Records holds a microfilm copy of the
original index which is held by the Mitchell
Library.
The index is believed to cover all relevant extant
records relating to New South Wales from 1788–
1828, except for the Newcastle Register and the
Methodist Church records, and selected records
to 1957. Later entries are from tombstone
inscriptions and the most recent from news
cuttings and relate only to comparatively few
families. A list of the records included is at the
beginning of the index. Further information is
available at the Mitchell Library.
