Thanks Keith.

There is something wrong somewhere.

Charles born 1875 married in 1903 and died in 1922. His middle name on electoral rolls is William.

Charles born 1852 died in 1937 aged 83 and his middle name on death reg is Wilkes.

But I now have Martha's maiden name.

NSW Marriage 3956/1845 V18453956 74B MACPHERSON HUGH - HARKNESS MARTHA - JB

8x deaths in NSW index for Hugh but not one in or near Nowra.

Martha may have remarried so may not be this death.

??
NSW Death MCPHERSON MARTHA 9751/1890 LAUCHLAN - MARGARET - NOWRA

I can't find a notice in Trove.

Presbyterian Marriages solemnized in the Parish of St. Andrew Sydney in the County of Cumberland in the Year 1845
No. 771
I, - do hereby declare that I am a Member of, or hold Communion with, the Church [signed] -
I, Hugh MacPherson do hereby declare that I am a Member of, or hold Communion with, the Presbyterian Church of Scotland [signed] H. MacPherson
I, The Revd. John McGarvie, of Sydney, Minister of St. Andrew's Church, do hereby certify that Hugh MacPherson, Bachelor, of Balmain and Martha Harkness, of Pyrmont Spinster, were joined together in Wedlock by me on the Twenty Sixth day of September 1845, at Sydney by Banns, in the presence of - William MacPherson and Isabella Harkness, witnesses of Sydney.
Parties signed: Hugh MacPherson, Isabella [sic] Harkness [signed] John McGarvie D.D.

An error with 'Isabella' as one of the parties. Also, Hugh signed the declaration as H. McPherson.

Note: This is not a transcription of the Parish Register but a copy of the details the church sent to the Registrar General.


Looking for their deaths, thanks.
