« on: Wednesday 26 April 17 06:58 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
                  I am trying to access information on a Catherine Mackie who married Alfred Chapman in the Perth district of Western Australia in 1920 I have it coming up on the BMD index for Western Australia is there anyway I can find out what it says on the marriage certificate. I live in Scotland and it is not like Scotlands People access to BMD's
I think Catherine emigrated to Freemantle in 1912 on the ship "AJANA" in 1914 she is on her brothers enlistment in the Australian Imperial Force as his next of kin living at 241 William Street Perth WA
There is also a death for Catherine Mackie in 1942 but again I can't access any info

You will need to purchase the certificate to access any information.

It may help if you could give her full name.

So you aren't sure if your Catherine married in 1920?

The death of a Mrs Catherine Teresa MACKIE in 1942 is for the wife of a doctor, so not your person of interest.

What was the brother's name? (the one who fought in war with her as NOK)
I'm not seeing it ...

Do you have his marriage and death notices etc?  If not perhaps they will give a hint about what happened to Catherine.
