I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to find it. :biggrin:

Are you sure you have the right John? What month and year?

So we are back to two CofE Barnes brothers marrying RC sisters - one in CofE church and the other in RC Cathedral. ???

Could be wrong one.. Check Here

EDIT: Scroll down a bit..

Thanks Geoff.

I will have to check why that did not return a hit.

This is very odd. Menindee is in the far west of NSW on the Darling River.

A couple of trees pointed to July 1886, so assumed it was the one..

The CofE marriage took place a few months before the RC one. That's about the only bit that does not seem to fit.

The CofE marriages for that Diocese are on fiche at the State Library and one is there and the other not.

I'm still not spending $18.

Occupation for John junior.?
