I've just added these to a question on the board, but thought others may be interested. See Below.

Mine are from NSW and Qld, not sure of others. Remember Qld was part of NSW until 1858 although I got my g grandmothers birth from NSW and that was 1859 so there was a double up time. Marriage from 1880 has: When and where married Names and surnames of the parties Condition (batchelor or spinster, etc) Birthplace Married in the (church)at(place) Rank or Profession Ages of both parties Usual palce of residence Father's name, surname and mothers' name and maiden name Father's rank or profession. Signatures of bride and groom and witnesses. Birth from 1858 has: Date and place of birth Name Sex Father's name, occupation,age and birthplace Date and place of marriage, and previous issue (living and dead) Mother's name and maiden name, surname, age and birthplace Informant Witness Birth from 1891 has All the same except parents marriage PLEASE NOTE If you want parents marriage details ask for them as they are not provided otherwise. You will get a seperate sheet of paper with Date and Place of marriage. I have a death cert for 1859.: Not everything on it is filled in, as I suppose the informant didn't know. But it the headings are : Date and Place of death Name and occupation Saex and age Cause of death, duration of illness and medical attendant Name and occupation of father Name and maiden name of mother Informant Particulars of registration When and where buried Name and religion of Minister and names of witnesses Where born and how long in the Australian Colonies Place of marriage, age and to whom Children of marriage. Later ones have same details. They have replaced colonies with States. I have several from around 1890 and all are filled in completely.

Thought I'd add this as I've just been looking at BMD info for Australia. Links to BMD information for each terratry is available from:- http://www.naa.gov.au/publications/fact_sheets/fs89.html Bare in mind access is more restricted than in the UK.
