I really must add my thanks to this one.

I had a name I knew absolutely nothing about which I got from his fathers death notice.  Didn't even know what year he was born and voila have now found a marriage for him!

Fantastic that has made my day  :)

Added have found two more from the same family with extra details. 

No parents name shown on these certificates is that usual?

What a fantastic site! So easy to use and rich in content. Only one marriage certificate I couldn't find but I found my Gran's sister. I was beginning to think she didn't exist so many, many thanks! Hope you get better soon (I see the transcriber has not been well). :)

So thrilled when I read that marriage details are available for Natal.   Especially delighted to find my husband's father's sister - okay, his aunt!! - because we had absolutely no info on her bar her name, and the year she died.   I had a name for her husband, which turned out to be completely wrong anyway, so now all that is sorted.   Thanks so much.

I have another question.   When do you think we'll be able to access the records from the Churches in the Transvaal?   I tried, but all I ended up with was a black screen.  I'm desperately trying to find information on my dad's side of the family.   Also, births from the old Orange River Colony, particularly Bloem.

Thanks again, you're a star.   :)

Had another browse on family search yesterday and found baptisms for 4 children I never knew about before.  Not only that but you can view and print the actual image brilliant.  Love this site  :)

Thanks for that.  I've now been able to validate my uncles marriage. Kenneth Stark / Philicia Harriet Olsen m 3 Jan 1953.  They divorced in the 1980s or 90's - are there any links to divorce records back then in the Durban Area?  I was also able to  find that one of their sons (my first cousin) had married at the same church where his father and mother were wed and where he was baptised. Both of my first cousins had middle names - that I never knew.  I'd love to be able to trace them or their families.  I've done a lot of research on the Stark ancestry.  Gary Robert Stark b 1956, Durban - m Jeanette King, Oct 1984 Durban.  Also Gary's younger brother Michael David Stark was born in Durban in 1960.  Any help in tracing them also appreciated.
