That second event does not appear in the BDM website. By buying the cert as indexed on the website, I was able to see a later endorsement on the same page which cited the second marriage of the same bride and groom. Two valid certs for the price of one :~)) * An acquaintance of mine angrily complained to the NSW Registrar who failed to locate his birth record. After much friction and appeal, it turned out that his "parents" had NOT borne him. He was bn illegit and adopted by his grandparents!! To discover that would have involved the Registry in unpaid extra effort. HOORAH!!!! for NSW Registrar Alistair bn NSW 1929. BCC sent to YK - No Reply thanks
