Even if you could look up a marriage for the parents if they were married in Victoria. Edward Healey was a confectioner. I have a problem here: My great grandfathers twin sister Margaret Russell married Edward Healey on October 7th 1886 in Victoria. My Margaret Russell is the daughter of James Russell and Mary Ann O'Grady and she was born at Beechworth in 1867. However this marriage certificate shows the parents of Margaret Russell who married Edward Healey to be James Russell and Mary McGrath. Maybe there is a mistake on the marriage certificate?
