Surnames: JAMES CHRISTOPHER BROCK MARSHALL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Vdy.2ACEB/3285.1 Message Board Post: Hi Kym I'm in Adelaide, South Aus. For about 8 years now I have been doing free research for anyone from around the world who want information re ancestors who came to South Australia in the 1800's. I was in the library in Adelaide yesterday, and decided to see if I could find anything re your James Christopher Brock Marshall. I did not find a great deal, but the following is what I managed to find:- In the records, there are seven entries for arrival in South Australia from overseas with the name James Marshall. There are also 9 records for the arrival in S.Aus. of a John Marshall. Unfortunately only the first Christian name has been recorded on the passenger lists, so I was not able to find the "right" record for you. I also found the following:- MARRIAGE.

The cost of BDM Certificates in South Australia are the most expensive of any of the States in Australia, being $33.00 per certtificate. This cost includes a "Search time" for staff if one applies for a copy of a certificate. However, if you wanted to get any copies of the above, quote the book and number reference nos. which I always put with every item I find, as that will allow you a discount (I don't know how much) as the staff do not have to spend time searching for the record. If there is anything else you would like me to look for please don't hesitate to get back to me (preferably at my email address) as I'd be happy to help any time. Would you be interested in the marraiges of children born to John & Elizabeth? Feel free to ask. Hoping the above is of some help. Regards Heather from a cool, humid day in Adelaide.
