where else to look for a marriage? I'm looking for Helen Antoinette Davies

[bean]

I've tried all the usual sites but no luck!!
I'm looking for Helen Antoinette Davies, I 'know' it happened between 1901 (listed in census with father and unmarried) and 1914 (named in her fathers will under her married name of Wright)

Did people travel abroad to marry - her family were in London with other branches around the UK but if she'd married in this country she should still show up 

Can anyone give me any pointers on where else I can try searching please

The only marriage I can see is this in Australia :

Helen Antoinette P Davies and Henry Wright 1912 Sydney , NSW, Australia Reg no 4351

This couple are on the Electoral Roll in 1913 where he is listed as Dr Henry Wright. I thought the marriage was unlikely until I spotted this odd little item in the press :
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/203046325?searchTerm="Helen Antoinette wright"&searchLimits=

It refers to Helen as Helen Antoinette Perry Wright and I believe Perry was her mother's name ( baptism 18 Aug 1879 Lyonshall, Hugh Powel Davies and Mary Antoinette Perry ). Do I have the right family ?

you do indeed!!
that's brilliant, thank you, the article certainly makes interesting reading!!

I wonder if she stayed in Australia after that.

Thanks once again CB53

could be - forgive my ignorance but does Australia have a similar 'find a will' site to the uk?
I thought Helens fathers will was quite brief in regard to her, she's only mentioned once in relation to her part of money coming from her mother, perhaps it was a bit of scandal!!

Although I am in Australia I only access to basic records.
(I was not born here so have little link to Australian records)


I would think there may have been a Divorce.

If you start a new query on the Australian Board with a link to this you may find out more.

Researchers on there are excellent and have access to many records

good thinking - which is probably why I didn't think of it!!
