Subject: [AQ-BRISBANE] hardy marriage qld ref 1890/000140 Hello, I am at an impasse with what I need to do next. With help from this listing site I received the information as above. Can anyone tell me if that Ref will tell me where they were married? No only if you purchase the certificate (Andrew HARDY & Annie Bella WEBB) How can I access that information? Refer to http://www.judywebster.gil.com.au/tips-qld.html#bdm for more information Certificates can be purchased from http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/bdm/forms.htm Rob Taylor Mount Isa, Qld, Australia

Tracey, There are "B" (Brisbane) and non-"B" (country) refs, and the numbering (separate for B/M/D) restarts each year. So all you can tell from the ref itself is that the marriage was early-ish in 1890 (as 000140 is a fairly low number); and in the country (as there is no "B" between the slash and the number - but "country" then includes current suburbs of Brisbane). The information Rob posted about going to Qld Justice to purchase the certificate is correct, but I want to mention that this is for certificates from 1890 (which just catches your couple). Up to and including 1889, Qld State Archives is the place: http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/research/bdm.asp I'm not sure about Justice, but if they give you all the original register details (QSA gives you a photographic copy on a special form) then you get a lot of info (as for all early Qld B/M/D). Should include ages & birthplaces of both bride and groom; names of their parents including mothers' maiden names; occupations (usually just the groom and fathers); names of witnesses. Usually very well worth getting. Cheers Steve The Scott Family wrote: >Hello, I am at an impasse with what I need to do next. With help from this listing site I received the information as above.
