Post by: otakiri on Monday 24 August 09 07:03 BST (UK)

I purchased this Marriage cert but is pretty hard to read, any suggestions?

Quite a bit is readable.

It would be easier if you said what you can read rather than having someone write up the bits you already know.

Carol, thank you ,and you know this from your extraordinary powers of deduction or am I going to be really lucky and have you know this family line personally? Once again thank you so much, its a little like unravelling a mystery novel!

Married by license, according to the rites of the Wesleyan Methodist Church.

I gather this is somewhere in Australia?
