Hi All
I am looking for the marriage of Alfred Richards to Eizabeth Page in Melbourne around 1872. I am wanting the certificate to see if I can find their parents.
Alfred RICHARDS was born around 1852 in Sydney. Have not confirmed this
Eizabterh PAGE was born aroound 1847 in London. This is all the information I have about her.
They are the great great grandparents of my husband.
Can anyone help

I have found that Elizabeth PAGE was actually a widow when she married Alfred RICHARDS. She was Elizabeth WHITE.

Can't find Elizabeth Pages marriage to Mr White in Vic.

Was it her death in 1905 at Footscray, 56 yo, father Henry Page, mother Carol Middleditch, reg 12599?

Bought the death cert. of Elizabeth Page RICHARDS. yes, this was her death in 1905. Aged approx 56 years. Two husbands and nine children.
Shows previous marriage to Thomas White in England.
Only 2 years between this marriage and her marriage to Afred RICHARDS.
Seems she must have been married, had a child, widowed, imigrated to Aust and remarried all in the space of a couple of years. Brave lady.
Just trying to find her passage to Australia. There is an assisted passage in Feb 1870. No mention of infant, but he definately came along.

What was the infants name?

Caroline''s first husband was Thomas WHITE. The infant was Henry WHITE.
Now I am not sure if Thomas died in England or Australia. Could make sense if they travelled together to Aust, but he died, so she remarried bery quickly. Not sure
-
There are a few Thomas White deaths in 1870-72, various ages, none born London, too hard to tell if one of them is him.

An online tree says that he was the one who died 1872, parents William and Norah [Honorah] McCarthy Born Surrey 23 years old from the index.
From that tree, henry William White born 1871, Redfern NSW reg no 4143.
Now we are looking for an arrival 1870ish for Thomas and Elizabeth White,

I have an Elizabeth WHITE on an assisted passage on Feb 1870. But no mention of Thomas or Henry.
-
Henry was born in NSW, There is a Thomas White, crew member in 1870 on the Lekova, Nov 1871 into Sydney, but I dont think thats him. Unless Elizabeth was already pregnant and came out ahead of her husband.
The arrival you have is in victoria isn't it?

Yes - Victorian assisted passage. Probably doesnt fit if you have Henry being born in NSW. What date was that?
