If you want to find anything else about the births it may be worth you reading this - civil registration in Argentina didn't begin until 1886

The father was HOWARD MATHEWS b 1833 ENGLAND, he must have left England 1869/70/71 but can find no trace on any records.

Can any one help with this, THANKS
