Another wife for this son of John CATES, surgeon and yet we haven't found birth details for Charles Collier CATES .... but it could well be Sydney as per Alison's post.
1. So there's a marriage back sometime BEFORE 1865, somewhere but not sure where
2. Ireland in 1865 to Miss Flood
3. New Zealand in 1873 to Miss Buchanan
4. Victoria in1879 to Miss O'Brien
5. NSW in 1888 to Miss Woodland
Perhaps Terry has a plastic card and may have some spare pennies he may be interested to learn that plastic cards can be used to obtain immediate image of the 1879 marriage. Alison has provided the reference number
WELL FOUND ALISON
