Hello,
I am just starting to trace my grandfather's (Ernest Edward or Edward Ernest King) family and I know his parents were married in Hobart in 1891. There names were David King & Amy Peters but this is all I know so I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me in finding out more about them.
I have no idea when or where they died and more importantly their origins in Tasmania.
Any details that can be supplied would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Murphy Girl.

According to the indexes they were married in 1891 not 1851.

Hi Merlin,
Thanks for the info re David King's children and I realised after posting the first request that I had made an error with the date so I placed another post on the board so hopefully if anyone else reads my enquiry they will have the right date.
It is strange that the name "Eugene" has never been mentioned in relation to my grandfather but I guess things get "changed" as time goes on. I can vaguely recall family members mentioning a Ruby but the story went that she was a "half sister" not a full one so that is a new piece of info.
I will keep looking to see if I can find out any more about David & Amy King, would you know from your availablity to records exactly where they were married in Hobart?
Thanks once again,
Kind regards,
Murphy Girl.

The name ERNEST EUGENE KING is not common I would think.
However this divorce in Sydney may be in regard to your man, or perhaps another of the same name ;D

You may like to change the marriage date on your heading exactly the same way. Open the first posting you made to correct the the subject heading.

Well, All speculation at present, but this could be a NSW marriage.
The wife in the divorce item is named as MARETTA
REG 3012/ In 1916 KING ERNEST E
To HORRIGAN LILY M
WOLLONGONG
And is this the death of a child of the couple
15456/1975 KING REGINALD JOHN
Father ERNEST
Mother LILLIAN MARETTA
Is this a child of ERNEST EUGENE. Possibilities only. ;)
Have you more information at all?

Thankyou Merlin & Cando for the information supplied, I will look into this further & thanks Merlin for the details of Reginald John King's parents as now I can cross him off the list of people to research.
Kind regards,

I'm researching the King family for a dear friend with dementia. She is 82
years of age and her father was known as Ernest Edward King when he married
her mother Juliet Grace McNabb on 30th June 1925 in Ascot Vale, Victoria.
On the marriage certificate he states his parents as David King & Amy
Peters and that he was born in Hobart. He gives his age as 26 years making
him born circa 1899. Having since found your message on the internet, I
feel that this is your grandfather also. The discrepency of age and middle
name would have been made as his divorce from Lily Harrigan wasn't
finalised until December 1926.

His death certificate has the same information however that was possibly sourced from the 1925 marriage cert.
