Parents of Mary Sophia FULLER b Armidale 1862

[aimeecat]

Hi Everyone
I've been stuck on Mary for a while (decades). I've been trying to find her parents so that I can follow her line. Recently, I finally found this 1884 marriage notice (thank you NLA for Trove!!  ):
TEMPLE-FULLER - November 4, at St.Leonards Villa, Bondi, the residence of Mr. Thomas Fuller (the bride's uncle), by the Rev. E.F.Thomas, Percy Augustus Temple to Mary Sophia Fuller, only daughter of Mr. Reuben Fuller of Sydney.

It's only tiny...but its packed with information! I was so excited. But now I am completely stuck with Reuben and Thomas.

I've tried NSW BMD and more Trove. I believe Mary inferred that her father was of independent means (but I've heard that before).

Any suggestion of where I should try next?

Thank you in advance

cheers

Oh, and I have lots on Percy and his line.

Thanks Jo

Something to get me going again. I'll have to play with that Parramatta Reuben and see where I end up.

I think there must have been more than my Reuben, unless all his progeny died before Mary Sophia married.

Thanks again.

Sigh, it doesn't look like that Reuben has a brother call Thomas.

Hi Aimeecat,

There are several public trees for the Reuben Fuller born 1839 to Edward & Elizabeth, on Ancestry and just using Google. An interesting character. While there is a relationship and other children, there are still lots of gaps that make him a possibility for you. He has an uncle Thomas Fuller and an uncle Timothy Thomas Fuller. Both are possibly Mary Sophia's Great uncles. She also has a brother Thomas and this could be a simple error in the article. I would buy the marriage cert or ask a transcription agent in NSW to send you the details on the marriage cert, this would be the best way to fund out what you need.

Good luck, Jo

Reuben FULLER, 24, labourer, native of Mildenhall, Suffolk, parents John and Elizabeth both living at Suffolk, C of E, reads a little, relative in the colony - brother Thomas FULLER living at Hexham(?)
Mary FULLER, 22, wife of the above, native of Mildenhall, Suffolk, parents Jachariah and Mary RICKWOOD, both living at Suffolk, C of E, reads a little

No children with them.

It appears from census records that Mary's father's name is correct as written. FamilySearch has it as Jaconias and Jeconias.

Thanks Debra

I've just delved a little into this Reuben...he is looking very hopeful. My great grandmother may just have parents yet!

You help is very much appreciated.

Thanks AimeeCat

Hi there,

I guess that you have the 1884 mc, and not just the Trove announcement.... and that the 1884 mc has the usual blanks where the bride and groom's parents details should be 

Have you tried the methods I outlined in the following thread: 
 
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,546609.0.html  and also

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,557757.10.html  see reply #12 for example of blanks on NSW MCs

Fingers crossed your great great grandparents details can be found 

Cheers,  JM
