Can anyone tell me where Wellingrove is please? Its abit to the north of the Glen Innes to Inverell road up in the New England area of NSW > > Also does QE district mean QLd, if so how come the marriage is in NSW BDM's reg. Or is there a QE in NSW, again if so where?? If you are going to do research there are some basic dates that are useful to know e.g Civil registration of BDMs in NSW date from 1856. Records before that have a V and a 1845 prefix........ V1850 followed by 2 other numbers being a page and vloume # and to initials ........Church codes . QE would not mean Qld . These church codes were stuck up on the wall in the gene section of Tuggarah Library. Are on the NSW BDM registries web site also and on http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts And a few other web sites and in a booklet in libraries that have the NSW Pioneers records Bye MargM Member of Central Coast FHS Gosford, NSW
