All of John Prentice and Johanna Cotton Landey’ s children I have listed were born in Queensland, Australia. Warwick is in Queensland. The first three however have both a Queensland Index and NSW index reference number which means you can get a copy of the certificate from either the Queensland State Registry or the NSW Registry. This is because before the formal separation of the States the Colony of NSW held many of the records. I understand that these were separated out in formation of each State register of BDM’s but the NSW register still shows the early registered events. I have read an article on this somewhere, will try and track in down for you. The place where they married, that is at the Church of England, Drayton, Toowoomba is also in Queensland.
