A 1907 Tasmanian marriage certificate should give the names of both sets of parents, fathers' occupations and birthplaces for the bride and groom.  These fields were added in 1896.  I also thought that post 1900 records were only held by the registry at the Dept of Justice.  Some later church registers are held at the archives.

I haves spent hours upon hours looking over cemeteries in Tasmania
I currently live in Old Beach but previous to that Bagdad

My wife is a descendant from The Blake's in the Kempton area hence related to The McKay's and Shearings also, so i know the cemetery in Kempton very well.

My family the Cordwells are from the Derwent Valley and The Huon Valley
my Cordwell convict ancestors travelled up from Hobart and were married in the Church at Bagdad.

My cousin on my mothers side married a Cooley, The Cooley family from Cooley's Hotel and the Cooley's coach business (Robert Todd Cooley)

The Robert Cooley i am after is connected to the Cordwell family
If someone can access the marriage of Robert Cooley and Susie Pullen in 1907 that would be fantastic

Its not blowing here at all, very mild weather indeed

thanks again every one, love this sight and the generous people who use it

kind regads

I would like to thank everyone for their help
I bit the bullet and bought a marriage certificate from BDM Tasmania @ $40
Robert Cooley married Susie Bartlett Pullen on the 3rd of April 1907 at King Street Independent church.
Usual place: Sorell
Roberts’s birth place was Orielton and he was 23
Susie’s birth place was Hobart and she was 22
Roberts’s parents were James Cooley and Annie CostelloSusie’s parents were George Pullen and Amy RossInteresting in the area where it says Conjugal Status it says NEVER VALIDLY MARRIED
According to the TAS Archive sight James parents are Jeremiah Cooley and Christina WhiteJeremiah looks like he was a convict sent to NSW at 15 and then sent on to Tasmania

Glad to see you got to the bottom of the COOLEY by getting a certificate, marriages are often the best as the couple fill it in themselves.  Except they like to fudge ages.  The "Never Validy married " I have seen on a few certs in Tassie. Not sure why, the first one i saw was a couple that married in there late 30's and i just guessed they had been in a relationship prior to marrying but i've also seen it on younger couples. Bit of a mystery. Good luck with the rest of your hunting.
