Where do you want to go with your research?
Are you researching the origins of the 1903 STREET and KENNEDY?

Yes I would like to trace the families back. I should add that Thelma Mary Street was born Ballina district

Hi
Now that you have the parents of the bride and bridegroom, you will easily be able to search the link given for the siblings of the groom and that way move backwards in the search
He was Cyril Clarence , the son of C P STREET
C P STREET was Charles Petvin STREET who had married in (3967/1879) to Mary Matilda DWYER at Murrunundi
Apart from the chn shown on NSW BMD, there was an adopted daughter, Mary.

Thank You so much for all the information of the Street family. Would the Kennedy family have arrived in NSW or born overseas

1837/1939 KENNEDY Mary parents ALEXANDER and CHRISTINA at CONDOBOLIN
Obit, last column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article218439182
If I am reading the obit correctly, it has Mary’s age at death as 90. That gives a birth year of 1849. However, it goes on to say that her folks arrived in Australia 1860 and that Mary was born in Australia. I think the confusion was due to Lachlan having arrived from Scotland in 1860.
An online tree has her born in 1848, Bungonia, Goulburn:
1460/1848 V18481460 65 MCDONALD Mary parents ALEXANDER and CHRISTINA
The Findagrave for Forbes Cemetery shows quite a bit of information on the children of Lachlan and Mary who are buried there. Poor Lisle came to a sad end.
Deaths of the children:

Just found an online tree which is very informative. Do a search for: lachlan Kennedy married mary McDonald
It has the parents and siblings I gave for Lachlan born Scotland. It has him in Australia with sister Flora, only. She married in Wagga to a Thomas Fitzsimon. She died 1873, but on NSWBDM her folks a down as John and Mary. There is a photo of her with her hubby and brother Lachlan.

This is what I think re: Mary McDonald based on her suggested place of birth:
There is the following marriage which fits with Mary’s parents:
352/1847 V1847352 32C MCDONALD Alexander to MCCALLUM Christina code MC
MC Church of England Bungonia; Goulburn; St Saviour's (Co. Argyle); Goulburn Plains; Lake Bathurst; Marulan
Cameron genealogies has these folk as Mary’s folk. It has Alexander’s death as 1873 WAGGA, but I can’t find it on NSWBDM.

This is supposedly Christina’s: 2976/1861 MCDONALD Christina parents Duncan and Catherine at GOULBURN
