Emily Mary WALLACE

[Eupham]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find any information on Emily Mary WALLACE. She was born around 1889 and married George John WORLD in 1915 in Victoria, Australia. Was she born in Australia? When did she or her parents arrive in Australia?

Any information anyone can pass on will be greatly appreciated.

I cannot see a birth for either Emily or Amy on the Victorian birth indexes.  There is a STATHAM baptism for a Wm John in 1852 at Geelong with parents Wm and Elizabeth.

I think  you are going to need some certificates.  A transcription of the NSW marriage certificate would give you the ages and places of birth of the bride and groom; the names of the parents of the bride and groom including their mothers' maiden names and fathers' occupations.

Hi All,

Thanks so much for this. There's some good starting point there me. I've just not had a lot of experience with Victorian Branches.
