Underage marriage and permission

[scrappyshaz]

Trish,
The one I got was 1863, so am not sure about the early records. As the Archive microfilms were of the registers, you would expect to have all the details - however it might be worth a try if you have a brick wall.

Hi All

Trish, that marriage was 1895.  The marriage that I am waiting on was 1853, so from what you say, it will be interesting to see if there is further information on the church record.

Do let us know Annette - tis interesting - and sometimes frustrating that the registry doesn't have a precise answer. They have never told me that more may be available from Church records for the later marriages - that came from another rootschatter some time ago. I find the Victorian and Queensland certificates (post civil) virtually compete from day 1

Hi All

Not good news on all fronts.  Someone very kindly did a look up for me of the St Matthews RC records in the Hawkesbury City Council Library, and there was no further information on the Register than was on the Marriage Certificate for Edward Cullen and Jane Harrison. 

I also heard from NSW State Library today, and they have searched all records that they hold for Edward Cullen's baptismal record and were not able to find anything.  What they have is the same as SAGS and included some records from the Mitchell Library.

The State Library person did say that St Mary's Cathedral still holds some records that have not released.

So I am very disappointed, but will keep hoping.  I will also put a post on my other thread.

Bad luck, Annette!  So sorry you have found nothing to further your enquiries.  But I'm glad you had a good response from the NSW State Library! 

Am not sure what you can do about St Mary's Cathedral.  You can't discover that you are a distant relation of Cardinal Pell, perchance??
