How confirmations are recorded in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney

Records of confirmations may be found in one of three forms: in the confirmation register, in the service register of the parish, or a confirmation return submitted to the Registry by the parish prior to the confirmation service.

A Confirmation Register or Return includes:

Name of church in which confirmation will take place
Name of church from which the candidates are presented
Date of confirmation
Names of candidates
Addresses of candidates
Ages of candidates (but NOT date of birth)
Occasionally: Dates of baptism of candidates (but NOT place of baptism)
Name of presenting minister
Name of confirming bishop
Date of form

It is only possible to supply copies of confirmation records to the person named in the record.

The Sydney Diocesan Archives cannot provide records for baptisms, confirmations or marriages performed in any of the other 22 Anglican dioceses in Australia, or any other church in Australia.
