And here is a 1959 version....
It would seem quite odd to me that a REAL 1964 version would look closer to the 2009 template than to the 1959 or 1992 versions.
Good find. I couldn’t find any Auzzie Birth certificates ;)
Except for the fact that those are from different states (and Bomfords is also from a different state to either of those).
Australia has a common format for birth certificates, meaning all certificates are meant to look similar and have similar information. But each state produces its own based on that common format, so they don’t look identical.
I wish I still had the ones I had until last year - because they looked extremely similar to the Bomford one as best I can recall.
Just asking: is it appropriate to compare birth records from the different Aussie States? Ie: Queensland v. South Australia, etc. Maybe they differ state to state like we have here, so even contemporaneous ones will not look the same.
Hmmmmm....
