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.
