RICHARDS Family - Tas, NSW

[neander]

Hi,

I have been trying to research the Richards Family, but having little luck.
My GG Grandfather was James Henry Richards, born according to his death certificate, in Tasmania about 1859.
James Henry married Elizabeth Ada Deveraux, who was born at Port Cygnet, Tasmania about 1864. I haven't been able to find a marriage for the couple. James died in 1927 at Wyalong, NSW and Elizabeth died in 1934 at West Wyalong, NSW. To my knowledge they had four children - James Ernest(My Grandfather), Elsie, Lydia and Ada.The children were all born around Wagga Wagga district.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me when James and Elizabeth were married, and if James was definitely born in Tasmania, and if his parents are known.

I appreciate any help that is offered.
Thanks for your time,

Donna
