Second marriage cert details
15/12/25 St Albans (church) Highgate Hill WA
Reg’d 6/1/1926
No mention of first marriage
No witnesses mentioned
Dorothy Grace Murray / hairdresser / spinster 28
Father John Beverley Murray deceased
Mother Amy cecelia Hummer deceased

That’s it!

Hi,
I feel concerned that this information is incomplete.
In my experience and according to legal requirements, this is the information which should appear on a Western Australian Marriage certificate.

MARRIAGE
 
 
Date
Couple's names
Couple's ages
Couple's birthplaces
Previous status
Couple's occupations
Couple's residences
Fathers' names
Fathers' occupations
Groom's mothers name

Where the information is not known or unavailable, there will be an entry to reflect that, such as, "Not Known" Rather than a blank space.

You have omitted all details of the bridegroom or his marital status, addresses, .
I would have thought a witness or 2 would be expected too.

However if that is all your document holds, then it is very odd!

I’d discounted this one, as it has PARKES T. Of course, a T could easily be mistranscribed from a J.

The Moldavia also left Fremantle on the 21st. 2nd page, 2nd column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article229688930

Looking at the original passenger list (not a transcript) I cannot see letter “T”.
To me, it simply says Parkes,  Mr & Mrs.

"Initially the BDM here in Perth couldn’t even find May on their system. But her death cert was posted out but there’s no helpful info on it."

Why was there a problem finding May?

WA BDM death
PARKES   May      F(emale)   died 1925      NORTHAM   189 /1925

At reply #25

"May was on a 1901 uk census but not on the next."

What are you seeing on the Census, 1901?....enough information please for others to locate it.

The Fremantle arrival has them as Mr G.A. PARKES and Mrs. PARKES.
