Hopefully it will load this time

Hi Yvonne ... yes it loaded okay ... BUT   

... what we need is the right-hand side of the certificate for the STANTON - HANKS marriage 1893.

You'll see the part you've posted > has the number  > 9052   >   so it's the other portion (the right-hand side of that) which we need.

It should look a bit like this  --->

9052   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Place of                         * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
                                                   Birth                          -- >   -- >   --  >    -- >    -- >

  [We've got this side !!     ]                                          It's this side of cert we need   !!!   

------------------------------------------------

(Disregard the information for  9053   as it related to another couple.)

Hope that helps ?

Im a little confused when you scroll across the image you can see the right hand side.

Hi Yvonne

Did you order the 1893 marriage record from Public Record Office of Victoria   ?

... Yvonne .... I'll stay online for a while and try to talk you through this

Yvonne I see you are now offline at the moment, so I will endeavour to find a copy of a VIC marriage entry of the same era to show you what it looks like.

Yvonne ... click on the link below to see an image of a Victoria marriage registration from 1893 which is in the same format as the one you have for STANTON-HANKS.

You'll see from this, how the image is divided (vertically) into two sections (with a stamped reference number placed in between to two sections.
In your case the stamped number on your image is   > 511 >   )    The record reads across the page.  Both these sections make up the full record.

So what we need from the record you have > #  9052  > is the information from the right-hand side of the number  >  511  >   (which is stamped on the STANTON HANKS image ).

Oh my gosh!!!  After all the times I have looked at this I never looked to the right!  I assumed the coipy had four marriages on it not 2!  Unbelievable.  This immediately disproves the NZ connection as here he lists his fathers name as Peter whereas later one states his fathers name was Heinrich.

Ive attached the FULL CERTIFICATE.

So hard to read...  am thinking parents are Peter and B....  ?     Interesting that Agnes Stanton lists her parents as William and Mary Stanton.  She was a widow,  born Agnes Brown with parents William and Mary Brown.   

oh Lucy i feel so silly and so delighted at the same time as I can now delve a little deeper!  Thank you so much
