Does anybody on the list have easy access to the INdex to Marriages for Western Australia for 1961-1962? There are copies at the JS Battye Library in Perth and at the State Library in Victoria. If so would you be willing to check for an entry there for me? Two Danish citizens: Jens SØRENSEN, cyclist aged 20 years, to Dorit Margarethe PEDERSEN (now known as BAUER), typist aged 18 years married on the P&O liner "Oriana" in the Arabian Sea between Aden and Colombo en route to Australia on 22 Oct 1961. The officiant was Cecil, Bishop of Kalgoorlie, WA. The marriage was apparently subsequently registered in Denmark, though I have still to locate that. It was certainly recorded in the shipping files preserved in the UK as it was a British-registered ship. I wish to discover whether the parties bothered to have it recorded in WA when the ship docked - I suspect not! It certainly was not registered in Victoria where the couple disembarked. This marriage is one of the examples that I intend to use at the AFFHO Congress in Darwin in June 2006. Thanks in anticipation. Chris
