Hi all A marriage transcript of a church record C of E, has nothing more than names and occupation and marital status on it. The transcript says the church may have more information. I wonder if anyone can help re how to get that information from C of E and RC churches for docs of that era. regards Marg OLeary Port Stephens NSW

Marg, which church, where? Quite a few CofE and some RC churches have had parish registers filmed, some of them up to 1930s. These films are available at State Library NSW in Macquarie Street Sydney and at SAG in Kent Street, Sydney and possibly other places in NSW as well. One would need a bit more information about the church you are interested in to be able to tell whether or not the church in question has had its registers filmed, and what dates are covered. There may well be more information on the parish register, but not necessarily. I know St James church in King Street Sydney failed to put parent names, etc., on marriage entries well into the 1870s.
