I'm wondering if anyone has the marriage certificate of the above. James Walsh was born in1837 in Sydney and Alice Warman was born in Mudgee in 1842. They married in Mudgee in 1861. I'm hoping to find James' parents' details.

hello there
do you have his death if not there is a gravestone in the Mudgee General cemetery
http://cemindex.arkangles.com/inscriptions.php
for James and Alice Walsh, gives his age and death (hers also)so you can see his parents names from checking the NSW bdm on line
obviously not him as age too far out but what a coincidence!
regards jenn

Thanks for your reply. No I'm not sure of the death. I was told it was around 1890, but can't find anything that matches on BDM for Mudgee area at that time.
The James and Alice you refer to in Mudgee cemetery is James Walsh and Alice Cross. There are actually some trees on ancestry and rootsweb that have these 2 instead of James and Alice Warman.
I think I will have to go ahead and order th marriage certificate from BDM, but as I have a number I want to order I was hoping to keep costs down if anyone else had info to share,
thanks again

If you are ordering NSW certificates - use transcripts instead - definitely cheaper & usually quicker
A NSW wedding from 1861 may not, unfortunately show parents (Some do & some don't). For a lesser fee the transcription agent will check if the required information is available
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/howToSearch.htm#TranscriptionAgent
e.g.
Full Transcripts: are a full transcription of all the information contained in the NSW Registers.
Partial Transcripts: are a transcription of up to five items from the Registers. The different items available are detailed on the order form.
Single Item Transcripts: are where one item specified by the client is transcribed from the Registers.
Check and Verify: is where the Registers are checked against any known information. The client specifies which information is to be checked. If this known information matches on the Registers, then an Upgrade to a full transcription can be done at the same time. For example, the wife of a person may be checked in the Death Registers. If it matches with what you are expecting, then the full transcription can be done. However, if it does not match, the transcription is not done and the client saves the extra cost involved with ordering an irrelevant transcription for their family history research.
Upgrade: is where a client asks for a check of certain information about the person you are researching. Where the Register matches with these known facts, an upgrade to a full transcription can be done. However, an upgrade can only be done if it is ordered at the same time as a Check and Verify.
You can check details from each of the agents websites
