Hi All Just came across this page and thought other listers would be interested. It also covers Qld pre-seperation, ending in 1856. http://ozgenie.bizland.com/ifhaa/misc/churchcod.htm Quoted from page: ""These location codes do not necessarily indicate the precise location of the event but do indicate where the officiating minister was based. Many ministers in these early Colonial years worked a circuit which included outlying areas and, as a result unions which may have been in place for a number of years were formalised when the minister visited the area. This also led to baptisms being performed in 'job lots'."" Cheers Marty in Brisbane
