Hi Listeners I have just received the contents of a marriage certificate from Queensland BDM with the following information: *Wesleyan Marriages solemnized in the parish of Moreton Bay in the County of Stanley , New South Wales, in the years 1850+51. They both declared they were both members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. John Phillips of Sydney and Martha Davis of Brisbane were married on the 13th December 1851 at Brisbane. Witnesses - James Sutherland & Mark Crabtree. Minister - John Waterford.* Can someone plese tell me why Morton Bay, County of Stanley was part of NSW. and what do the years 1850+51 represent. On Queensland BDM the marriage year is 1854, Thanks Chris Horgan

Hi Chris Queensland as it is now known was part of NSW until 1859, all records up till that time would be under NSW.
