Help to find a marriage please(***Completed with thanks***)

I understand that those two indexes are available at Ancestry as part of the subscription members of Ancestry pay.

Australia Death Index, 1787-1985
Australia Cemetery Index, 1808-2007

I am very sorry JM but I am unsure of the meaning of what you were trying to say.

Yes these two indexes may be incomplete in that they may not include every death record in Victoria, but they do include many many of the deaths records in Victoria. I use the first index all the time to order death registrations of Vic BDM as it gives the index number. So much better then paying $1 a time to do a search for the index number on Vic BDM itself. With the second index I find many deaths that do not appear on the first.

Then of course there are the many deaths that do not appear on either index, and that those on rootschat who have access to even better indexes than these cannot find a death record for either. The missing deaths that cause so many headaches...

Simply put, I am  noting that the two indexes you provided as an answer to a question posed by another RChatter are sourced from Ancestry.  I chose to do this so that other RChatters reading the thread do not need to duplicate each others efforts.   

May I ask what cemetery index and which death index?

You find many death in Victoria in the Australian Cemetery Index for which there is no corresponding entry on the Australian Death Index which includes Victorian deaths.

Cheers,  JM

Mmmm... will my sense of humour be appreciated, or will I hear the sighs from afar...

So if the transcription error in the following
Corbett, Ada Woodland
Father: Corbett
Mother: Margt Corben
1894
Cranborne
#19835R

was ever fixed to read
Corbett, Ada Woodland
Father: Corbett
Mother: Margt Corbett
1894
Cranborne
#19835R

does that mean that the index number would become 19835RR? (First R for Repeat, and second R for revision of a transcription error.)

Margaret Mary CORBETT was born in 1863 in Cranbourne Victoria. On her death certificate dated 13 June 1932 (in the name of Margaret Mary WOODLAND) she has 2 marriages.

1st marriage to Michael MOORE at age 15 in Cranbourne - they had 4 children the youngest is Margaret aged 47.

2nd marriage is to Syndey WOODLAND at age 30 years in Cranbourne - they had 2 children the eldest was Ada age 36.

The person who registered the death was an authorised agent.

I cannot find a marriage between Michael MOORE AND Margaret Mary and I cannnot find a death for Michael MOORE.

I hope someone can help me find this information. Thanks in advance, cheers Ted

I have been in touch with Ted and suggested where she should look for the parish record for Margaret's first marriage. 

Teinname.  The suffix R was explained on another thread in which you were involved and you would have surely read the explanation.  The thread is no longer available as it was reported to a moderator for reasons I will not repeat here and for breach of copyright.

Perhaps we should allow Ted to post again if she requires further help with this family.

in which you were involved and you would have surely read the explanation.

 
Incorrect assumption.

The thread is no longer available

No longer available means that whatever information it contained is no longer accessable.

Cool it everyone   

Family history is supposed to be interesting and fun .  It's a pastime ... hmm well maybe an addiction 
We all make mistakes, miss things, repeat things and other assorted errors (yes mostly me )
Not worth getting our knickers in a twist over ... 

cheers,
   Ros

Now let's get back on track

Thanks for trying to find a marriage for Michael and Margaret. On Michael's death certificate his sister Mary, who was the informant,  gave Dandenong as Michael's place of marriage, Hopefully I'll find the marriage and the children's baptisms in the parish registers of St Mary's Roman Catholic Church at Dandenong. 

I will let you know if I have any success.  I don't need any further help with the family at this time.

Cheers, Ted

Curious Ted, why would you choose Dandenong based on information given by a third party on a death certificate when first party information is different?

Michael Moore stated in 1880 on Cornelius's birth registration that the marriage was on 8 Jan 1879 at Cranbourne.

Margaret Corbett stated in 1894 on Ada's birth registration that the marriage was on 8 Jan 1879 at Sherwood (part of Cranbourne).

Hi Ted,
Perhaps you intend to mark this thread COMPLETED (for now anyway), but just before you do, I would like to recommend this as interesting reading.

Sue thank you for the link. Fascinating reading.

I am not sure how to mark the thread COMPLETED as we can no longer modify our posts.
