Marriage Lookup in SA for Lewis SMITH

[Geejay]

Would someone be able to check if there was a marriage for Lewis Gordon Shaw SMITH please.

I have just received his son's birth certificate (NSW) and it states that the marriage took place in Port Adelaide 24 July 1876.  Rosa Humbleton is his mother's name.

There are children born NSW for this couple - Thomas 1885, Blanche 1889, Lewis 1891 and Janet 1894 so there could also be some births in SA.

Thankyou so much Dee.........a couple more births than what I expected and the marriage date was spot on.

I can't find any other mention of Rosa or Lewis in SA BDM, GJ, nor any mention in BISA.

Thanks Dee, I was wondering about the BISA.  Lewis was a Mariner and I see that Glanville was in the Port area of Adelaide.  Rosa was supposedly born in London so may not have had any other family there.

I think this might be Rosa's baptism.....

Rosa Hambleton born 15th Feb 1856 baptised 2nd March 1856 at St Marylebone, Westminster.
Parents = David and Elizabeth of Henry St.
David's occupation = fishmonger.

It matches her age......
