Post by: allycat on Wednesday 22 October 08 04:59 BST (UK)

Dear Chatters, Hi.  This follows on from completed topic below.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,335341.0.html

Looking for marriage in Victoria for John Henry WALKER and Mary LEE (not sure if maiden name was BROAD or she married a BROAD before WALKER).

DENNER relatives say they were married between 1866 and 1868 either Tallarook, Victoria, Australia OR Yorkshire, England where John Henry WALKER possibly hailed from.  NB Mary LEE was supposedly Cornish.  We don't have her death cert yet.

Thanks,
Alison.

I looked in the Victorian Records and cannot find a Marriage.
But found births for John Henry Goulburn Walker 1869
of John Henry Walker and Mary Lee born Collingwood.
and also Walter William 1871, Hobart 1874, George 1876, Herbert Frank 1879, Frederick 1881, Seymour 1883, James 1885.  Also I found the death of Mary Walker died Heathcote Victoria in 1943 age 97.  Father Charles Lee and Mother Mary surname Unknown.

Dear Sargus, Thank you for the marriage lookup.  I suppose that means it's possible the couple married in England.  Shall keep looking.

Completed.

Regards,
Alison.

Any of the birth certs of the chn should give you the year and place of marriage of the parents.


Cheers

you can get a full Victorian Birth, Death or Marriage Certificate on line at WWW.Vic.gov.au.  for about $15 Aust. probable 8 pounds.  This is an uncertified copy but has all the details and saves waiting for the post.  On a death cert in Victoria you will get place of birth, parents, whom marriied and where and at what age, how long in the Australian Colonies, place of burial, and all the names and ages of their children at time of death. as well as age, cause of death etc.
bearing in mind that someone else is supplying the information which can sometimes be inacurate
