1889
Albert G DONNELLY and Ada MANSFIELD married. The marriage was registered in the Boorowa district, during March/April/May/June. The reference # is 3923. This is a marriage registered prior to 1895, and it was not registered at any of the Metropolitan offices for NSW BDM, so it may be one of the many rural marriage registrations that have not been reconciled by NSW BDM against Church Registers. If so, it is likely to be one of the many with elusive blanks as detailed earlier in my post reply # 1
I strongly suggest you need to sight the information for that marriage that Albert provided first hand about himself and his parents. It will include his then usual address, his occupation, his age, where and when born, and his parents names, including mum’s nee name and any other formal names she had used, and his dad’s occupation. There was at least one other couple named Christopher and Mary DONNELLY in rural NSW in that era. See the following newspaper cutting with sad news about the death of a 21 year old daughter.

I have looked over several electoral rolls for various electorates in the central western and south western regions of NSW in the 1870s, and I can see there’s several Christopher DONNELLY entries suggesting perhaps three chaps with that name, spelling variations include DONNELLEY …
