Yes, I agree with Sue,  it would be a serious mistake to fail spend $20 on an official transcript of Mary Ann FIRTH's marriage cert.  It may well lead you to the details you are looking for about Agnes' parents.   

$20 .... v $180 

25 kms from the PO to Meroo Creek ... yes it could well be....

Cheers,  JM

From my armchair, ‘quick looking’  across some of the NSW SRO online indexes, which of course point to actual records available at NSW State Records :

Squire FIRTH is mentioned several times in the index of the Register of auriferous Leases at NSW SRO.  This is on the Gulgong goldfields, November 1874 and April 1875.

There’s also a firm PERRAM & FIRTH, Coach Builders and Saddlers at Coonamble in July 1903, this is  Edwin PERRAM and Henry Clarkson FIRTH.

Deceased Estate file for Patrick FIRTH of Pilliga, gives date of death 29 April, 1932.  In the remarks column it reads “or FRITH, Occupation : Labourer”  …. So need to remember FIRTH or FRITH when searching online.

Walter SHEERY deceased estate file may have mention of the girls or Frances.  Also, a George J SHERRY at Coonamble died 21 March 1888, as per that same Deceased estates index…  Is he Walter’s brother, and was he helping raise the girls?  Perhaps that file has some answers.

Perhaps Werty should be considering a visit to Kingswood and the State Archives there….

Scroll through, there’s various people asking about the Firth family, particularly Agnes May FIRTH.   The Editor has noted a connection with the Perram family.

When I scroll through to follow that up,  I find the mention of the Coach Builder at Coonamble that I posted about earlier, with mentions about Zilla PERRAM and Warrangunyah Station.

The staff at NSW State Records Office are fabulous, and you can take a USB and download images.  There's NO entrance fees, and there's loads and loads of material.  This is where most of the professional researchers would be heading to help with searching for Agnes and her relatives.

Why pay for them to look up the records that you can look up for yourself and have the thrill of perhaps holding in your hands some original document from your ancestors.   

Cheers,  JM

Werty,

Perhaps you are not aware that there's possibly several RChatters who travel from their homes, out to Kingswood and look  up and take  photos of the contents of the various files.   All voluntary.

I live too far away to be able to help out with that fantastic contribution to family history researchings. 

Cheers,  JM

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.

hi Sue, I think you may have missed the post again, majm also commented on Mary Ann's marriage being a good idea referring to your post. I put I will retrieve this one you are mentioning in the bottom of this post. 
Thankyou.

Hi Majam, I am situated in the mid north coast, I moved away from Campbelltown some years ago now. Are you familiar with help in the areas from Nambucca to Corrindi at all? Bron63 lives around Sydney's south west regions and so does my mother.

Obviously the church didn't tell you that their registers have already been microfilmed & are freely available to the public

I did not miss it (again)
I failed to understand your use of the word "retrieve"
It would appear so did MJ
I  now gather you mean you will order a transcript.

Hi Sue,
sorry. I can see where I have confused you. Because you were talking about getting a transcription for Mary Ann  I thought you would have understood what I meant, I'll try remember to type names specific in each reply and realise that you are dealing with more than just me, I realise writing more conversation based probably might end up in cat and mouse as well as some people not being able to follow who it's for. I'm only use to talking to one person at a time.
Sorry again, just let me know if I don't respond correctly or if I'm being missunderstood.
Thankyou.
