BIR: CHT0132 and CHT0133.
Mar: CHT0132 indicates that Rebecca Gelme had two children (not identified) but whose surname was Gelme, so presumably she was not married to their father. CHT0132 estimates that this relationship dates from about 1884. CHT0133 shows three Gelme children, but in COR0839 Geoffrey Hall suggested that the eldest two (daughters Helen and Ellen) were birth and death events relating to a single individual. The records were consequently collapsed into one.
DTH: CHT0133 and CHT0134 give place as South Yarra; CHT0132 indicates Ballarat.
453. Ellen Gamson (Helen Laura) Gelme
BIR: In COR0839, Geoffrey Hall wrote: "I have no hard evidence but firmly believe Ellen Gamson Gelme and Helen Laura Gelme are one and the same person. The death for Helen Laura Gelme shows she was 7 months old and born in 1885. Neither have any record except the birth and death."

DTH: Search of FreeBMD did not reveal any obvious death registration between 1871 and 1891, though there is one Alfred Rowe, death registered fourth quarter 1874, West Derby Registration District (8b/515), aged 31, who would have been the correct age. In COR0897, Jeannette Merritt pointed out that Alfred's wife Elizabeth Rowe listed her status as married in the 1881 and 1891 census returns, so it would seem that her husband was still living and possibly that he had gone abroad.
