Hi Listers, I am looking for Mary Watkins who married Edwin Forth in Sydney in 1885. LDS don't seem to have any Microfilms available. Are there any records available at all? I should be most grateful if anybody can help me in my search. Regards Inga Jackson Wellington.

Dear Inga, It sounds like you want further details. The way you will get them is to buy a certificate or transcription. As far as I know that is the only way. Try www.marbract.com.au who is one of the transcription agents. The details transcribed from the register at the Registrar Generals Office are the same as you would get on a certificate, but cheaper.

Hi Inga There does not appear to be a marriage record for Groom Forth and Bride Watkins in the years 1880 to 1890 in BDM. I have heard that in that period, there are incomplete records. I have a marriage in 1876 that I've never been able to find. If you do find the record, the cheapest way is to get a transcription done by one of the 3 or so transcription agents - email addresses can be found on BDM site - I have found Joy Murrin good. (joy@joymurrin.com.au) Hope you find it Lyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "ibsjackson" <ibsjackson@xtra.co.nz> To: <AUS-NSW-SYDNEY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 10:26 PM Subject: [ANS] Marriage records > Hi Listers, > > I am looking for Mary Watkins who married Edwin Forth in Sydney in 1885. > > LDS don't seem to have any Microfilms available. > > Are there any records available at all? > > I should be most grateful if anybody can help me in my search. > > Regards > > Inga Jackson > > Wellington. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-NSW-SYDNEY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without > the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Inga I looked at the online NSW indexes for a marriage for an Edwin to a Mary from 1850-1950 and came up with nothing. I did find 1 child with the surname FORD with parents Edwin and Mary. He was born 1887. The only 2 marriages I found for an Edwin FORD to a Mary, were Mary AYRES and Mary JACKSON. I then looked in the Victorian CD and found no children for an Edwin FORTH and a Mary. Where did you get your information from please? Regards Joy Light

Hi Inga and List I just had a thought after reading this mail. Mary could have also been known as Polly or Molly, so it might be an idea to check under those names as well.
