Here’s the point, and I hope you and others get it. I HAVE SEEN NO EVIDENCE THAT SOUTH AUSTRALIA USED A SYSTEM OF BOOKS AND PAGES.

From a random post, found in three minutes search at Ancestry's South Australia message board:

One of my distant Victoria rellies married a man from South Australia, had one child in VIC – then disappeared from the Victorian indexes. Perhaps he moved back to SA, took her and the babe with him, and reared a family there:

Joseph WHITE, b. 25 Oct 1850, Adelaide, SA (per index ref: SA, Book 3, #124)

 Link

That's only one of several posts on the South Australia board referencing Books and Page numbers for birth, marriage and death records, up to and including the 20th Century. Australia was a British colony. The British government set up a BMC registration system the same way they did in Ireland and other colonies: the event was recorded in a book at the Registrar's office and indexed in the general records as a book and page number.

Next step would be to look toward Adelaide 1960 specifically...

Look on ancestry for Kenya book/line refs also. See which numbers are closer.

Well, I’m starting to get some good answers. Not the answers I want, but answers nonetheless. And I guess this exercise can be productive if we can see who’s around 44B in both places.

In the district of Hindmarsh
in South Australia

They passed book 44 way way back in the 1800’s.

I’m calling it, the Aussie doc is a fake.

And the media just had to do a little bit of research on ancestry.com to find that out.
