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.
