Hello All, My query is in relation to 19th century marriage consent forms. A Betsy LUCKETT married a Robert Simon SCOTT on 18 December, 1853 (see below). Digger - Pioneer Index. Victoria 1836-1888 Surname: SCOTT Given Names: Robert Simon Event: M Spouse Surname/Father: TUCKET Spouse Gvn Names/Mother: Betsy Age: Sex: M Birth Place: Death Place: Year: 1853 Reg Number: 25711 Denomination: Church of England Parish: KILMORE Fiche: 375 I have a copy of this early church record and note that the marriage is by licence and that the consent is given by a Daniel BOYD. Now my question is, are 19th Victorian consent forms held by any Victorian government authority and if so, have they been indexed or transcribed? Elizabeth SCOTT went on to become the first woman to be hanged in Victoria and I’ve been researching her case for many years. Daniel BOYD does not appear to have any genealogical connection to Elizabeth SCOTT and I’m wondering how it came to be that he could give consent to the marriage. I understand that in Victoria in 1853 that persons who could give consent were a father, or if the father was dead, a guardian or if no guardian, a mother if living and unmarried. If no mother, a guardian or guardian could be appointed by the Supreme Court. Now if Daniel BOYD was appointed as Elizabeth’s guardian by the Supreme Court, have you any idea where I could find record of same? Cheers Anne Hanson
