To Gordon and other listers interested the details are Register of Marriage No 91 Male Party Claude Vincent Ferdinands age 34 batchelor Burgher clerk 347 Serpentine Rd Borella. father John Henry Ferdinands, 3rd Landing Officer HM Customs (retired) Female Party Ezlynne Nesta Struys, age 29 Spinster Burgher, 1053 Third division Maradana. father Hector Bertram Struys. Post Master (retired) Marriage Dutch Reformed Church Regent St Colombo. 07 April 1945.Minister looks like Neville B Augier. Witnesses are Wyne Henry Van den Driesen -Ferdinands. Govt Medical Officer.of Primrose Garden Kandy Denzil Meurling Werkmeister Major Ceylon ? Colombo. Please forgive any transcription errors,but the print from the film reader is dark and at times the film is easier to read on the machine than the printout. The other interesting link is to look at the Communion roll for the same church on the same film, and pick up the Family of the bride which shows Father as above Mother Cora Nesta nee Jansz The bride as above born 14th Jan 19?6 Joyce Myrtle cant read dates from print out Oswin Ronald cant read from print out, but both births and baptisms should be able to be read from film and hand transcribed. Address Third division Maradana To further the worth of the film there are death registers from the churches, and of the 3 pages we copied there is a Harrietta Evelyn Ferdinands died 5th March 1924 age 59. There are about 30+ entries each pagefor deaths, and we have not even finished transcribing the surnames of the two parties for the marriages listed yet. At $5.00 for the film and a dollar a copy and 10 hours of our time, the four Anderson Marriage Documents are a bargain for us. We recommend any listers who had links to the 3 Colombo D R churches to get the film and copy their own families because the one film covers the 4 primary sources, births, baptisms, marriages and deaths, as well as a Census type entry of address and nuclear family. Cheers, Larry&Coreen

Hi Larry & Coreen A very big thank you for the information as the couple is part of the extended Struys family I am researching. All Struys on the Island are related with many individuals having moved overseas in the last 50 years starting new branches. You are really doing a great service and your generosity in doing lookups for everyone is to be applauded and I for one am most grateful and appreciative for all your endeavours to the list. My very warmest regards.
