In case that fact puzzles some Listers I advise that: MY own parents married twice in NSW. Once in a local Register office and weeks later in Church. MY wife had a cousin whose birth was registered twice. First, on board a ship at sea west of WA and later after arrival in VIC. Alistair BCC recipients YKW and JNF no reply thanks.

Yes, that is curious re: Sophia but the first time was in a Registry Office in VIC and the second was a religious affair we believe instigated by Sophia's Father-in-Law the Rev.Irving Hetherington.   Doreen J >________________________________ > From: Alistair Cameron <acameron@hinet.net.au> >To: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com >Sent: Saturday, 25 August 2012, 2:12 >Subject: Re: [ANS] Fw: Sophia Hetherington Carruthers > >On 25/08/2012 8:57 AM, MargM wrote: > >>  From the look of the VIC marriage indexes they married twice ref >> # 2290 /1868 and 803 / 1869. > >In case that fact puzzles some Listers I advise that: > > >MY own parents married twice in NSW.
