looking for Ellen Williams birth name /adopted surname Brandt/ married surname walsh Australia

Trying to find where Ellen Williams was born her marriage and death certificates Gilgandra NSW. A court case in Dubbo NSW, Newspaper for Wednesday 15th April 1896, when a William Wiseman was charged with molesting ellen Williams aged 5 years old says that her guardian/adopted parents names were William and Elizabeth Brandt from Forest Lodge Gilgandra. William was german and Elizabeth maiden name Blake was Irish. They raised my grandmother and I have confirmed these details. The interesting comment by the judge was that he said that Ellen was an intelligent little girl and he decided that she could be sworn but my grandmother refused to kiss the bible. (Why was it because she came from a different culture or background) I have never been able to find a birth certificate for Ellen Williams and having searched for 10 years.I would love someone to make suggestion to me as I have hit the brick wall.

My grandmother married Michael John Walsh Randwick NSW in 1914. My mother was born in 1917, unfortunately my grandmother passed away in 1919 aged 24. So my mother never knew her own mum.
