I realise you have a lot to work on at the moment, but would you kindly answer the question I have asked at the top of this page.

So you know nothing of her( Mary Ann) addresses, children, husband's occupation etc.??

Do you hold the marriage certificate?

If not, is it on order  from a transcription agent?

I am aware these questions have been asked before, but just trying to get an understanding here

The only creditable information I have on Aunt Mary Ann that I can think of is on her mothers death certificate. It says Mary Ann 18 months, Frances Death date 22/8/1864

Hi Sue, sorry. You must have missed my reply. Answer is the only info we have that I'm aware of is on her mothers Death certificate. (Transcription)
Thankyou.

Hello may I ask if you prefer Sue or sparrett in posts,
We don't have anything to be able to retrieve on Aunt Mary Ann. She is more of a mystery than what her mother is. We have a bdm marriage referance but you might be better asking Majm about that one. I know she's tried to do some background research on her.
Referance is 4905/1881, John Long, Mary Ann Firth, Gulgong. Also has a second result with variation of last name Hirth instead of Firth.
Thankyou.

Werty,

May I please suggest that you and Bron get together and decide who will order an official transcription of Mary Ann FIRTH's marriage with John LONG.   It will cost you about $20 to order such a document.   The document can be emailed to you as a pdf file.   

NSW BDM has appointed three Official Transcription Agents.  Your choice as to which one to order from.   Here's the Rchat link with their contact details.

Ok thankyou. We have ordered new transcripts for Agnes's marriage and Frances's death because these have a lot of information missing. It is going to cost $180 we are told for these but we are almost sure these have only been partially transcribed, they are also going to provide any other information they can find. I will retrieve this one your mentioning for Mary Ann from bdm.
Thankyou.

I do not mind . Either is fine.

It was the point of ordering the transcription I was attempting to clarify, and, kindly JM has made it a little clearer.

I too feel this is an imperative in your quest.

$180 .... you are being ripped off.   

$20 for each document from the Official transcribers ....

The NSW BDM marriage register for the years 1856 to 1895 can have MANY MANY blanks.  But with the official transcription copy, you get a clear picture of what those blanks are, AND you get the details of which church the couple married in, so you can in turn contact the Church, perhaps using the sample I wrote up for Bron earlier.

ADD, this way you get to the original record, which usually has ALL the info that was missed from the NSW BDM summary copy for the years 1856-1895.

Possible match for Frances marriage. v1850277 36b1850 ref jonathan j Jackson, Frances foster NJ mudgee/gulgong. Then this as this Frances became Jackson. 2078/1860 William Bolton maried Frances Jackson mudgee 1860.

I have found these in search for children to the 1860 marriage to Bolton.
Need further help please.
Ref 9463/1860
name: William h Bolton,
father: William p
Mother: Frances
Mudgee
And
9858/1861
Name: William h Bolton
Father: William
Mother : Frances
Mudgee 
Note 1st suspicion that there is a different referance number for both and an initial in one under father, apart from that identical.
Note my second suspicion, if you look at Frances's death info and presume that the info is all correct is says Agnes 3 which would have made Agnes born 1861.
Thankyou.
