MARRIAGES - PRESBYTERIAN OTHER CHURCHES

This  list  records 18 Presbyteian churches and parishes  all  of which were

established during the decade 1831 to 1840 and all  of which  recorded  less

                    family name

                    Christian name

                    year and ship of arrival

                    civil status at time of marriage

                    civil status at time of marriage

                    age at marriage

                    parish

               consent given by

               officiating minister

               reference number

The  marriages  within  each  church and  parish  are  listed  in chronological

order.

All the known officiating ministers are listed at the end of  the web page, of

whom there are ten.

Of the grooms, 122 (43%) have been identified and for the  brides 116  (41%).

The consent of the Governor was calculated  as  being required in 70 cases (25%).

In the abscence of access to the parish register the New South Wales

State Archive reference numbers have been retained.

There  were eight marriages in the State Archives Pioneer  Series file which

have no entry on any of these parish registers. It  is very  likely that most

of these result from typographical  errors and relate to post 1840 marriages.

To  locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical  search on  the  name

would be made on Lists 3 or 4  using  parish  code listed  in  the table above

from which the date  of  marriage would  be  retrieved,  secondly   using   the

appropriate date, the marriage would then be located on this list.
