MARRIAGES - WESLEYAN CHAPELS

MARRIAGES - WESLEYAN CHAPELS

This  list  records  six  Wesleyan chapels  all  of  which  were

established  during  the  decade 1831 to 1840 and  all  of  which

recorded  less than fifty marriages in their registers.  Combined

these  chapels totalled 24 marriages. Unfortunately only the Sydney

chapel parish register has been located at this time and it is not

complete.

The information recorded for each marriage is as follows:

               date

               groom

                    family name

                    Christian name

                    year and ship of arrival

                    civil status at time of marriage

                    age at marriage

                    parish

               bride

                    family name

                    Christian name

                    year and ship of arrival

                    civil status at time of marriage

                    age at marriage

                    parish

               consent given by

               officiating minister (Sydney chapel only)

               reference number

The six chapels listed by date of establishment are:

          1834:Wesleyan Chapel Moreton Bay {MBWM}

          1837:Wesleyan Chapel Sydney {SYDW}

          1837:Wesleyan Chapel Parramatta {PARW}

          1840:Wesleyan Chapel Bathurst {BATW}

          1840:Wesleyan Chapel Portland Head {P-HW}

          1840:Wesleyan Chapel Windsor {WINW}

The  marriages within each chapel are listed in chronological order.

Of the grooms, eight have been identified and for the brides ten. Five

marriages had at lease one partner who was a serving convict and

following the practice in this work it is assumed  that  the consent

of the Governor was required.

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

State Archive reference numbers have been retained.

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

the name would be made on Lists 3 or 4 then using the  chapel code

listed  in the table above the date of  marriage  would  be retrieved,

secondly  using the appropriate  date,  the  marriage would be located

on this list.
