All the information is important. David Cargill, bachelor, B- Arbroath Scotland, 34, Cook, Clarendon St South Melbourne, Parents David Cargill Shipmaster Jessie Fraser. Mary Jane Wilson Spinster B- Carlton, 21 Domestic, 87 York St South Melbourne Parents John Wilson Bricklayer, Sarah Ann Williams. The marriage took place at Cromwell Bdgs Melbourne Witt: Catharine Dowells, William P. McGregor I can send a copy's? According to the electoral roll 1903, after the marriage David was still a cook at Clarendon St South Melbourne, they lived at 87 York St South Melbourne If Mary is on the electoral roll 1903, which would be drawn up from details recorded earlier...maybe 1902....she was 21 years old then, so you could assume that her age at marriage is accurate. And David Jamison Cargill m. 16 October 1901, Melbourne, Australia is definitely your grandfather.......it is the origins of his wife that you are wanting to find? Yes I'm looking for Mary Jane Wilson, I know nothing about her, neither did her family. I have a birth registration for a Mary Jane Wilson B - 13 Aug 1882, Carlton, no father, the mother Mary Wilson 18 was born at sea, this is the only Mary Jane Wilson born in Carlton in the right time frame. "...I have a copy of the original marriage that says 1901...." Is this an image of a handwritten original? Yes a copy of the original, it's hard to understand, looks like it's been taped a few times. "...... I have another copy from Australia that says 1902" Is this an image of a handwritten original? This is the copy I sent to the archives for, yes it's had written. Do you have this birth certificate.............son David was born 06 November 1902? No I don't have a birth certificate, it's from the Ancestry Australia Marriage Index, I know from family and his death information it's correct.
