Title: Convict Permission to Marry
Post by: Jojosam on Wednesday 26 March 08 07:24 GMT (UK)

Hello

Can anyone tell me where to get hold of the records of convicts seeking the Governor's permission to marry please?

I have a couple of convict ancestors (all NSW) whose marriage certificates state they were married 'with the Governor's consent' and I'm hoping the documents have information which will help fill in our pictures of them.

Thank you.
