Funny notations on records ...

[gibbo]

This is one Daveham come across


It has a column for Age and the minister wrote 'Above' for the groom and 'Under' for the bride


Anyone else got any funny or weird notations to add :biggrin:

I've come across all sorts of things in the NSW marriage registers.

All the marriages conducted on one day by a particular minister had to be re-entered in the register because he did not get the bride and groom to sign. Did he get them all back from their honeymoons to sign the rewritten entries? Or did he fake all the signatures?

 

[DaveHam9]

I've only seen one minister (of the parish of St Philip's Sydney) so far out of about 50 in NSW who numbers the entries in the register with roman numerals. He can count not like some others who have to make corrections to the running sequence.

So if they didnt get back to sign it for another month would they have been legally married for that month or legally married from the date they went back and signed it Wally minister :2fun::2fun: A lot signed with a X back then so easy enough to fake their signature :biggrin:

Some years ago I read an ancestors divorce papers, hand written on the edge of the certificate was a notation that the woman had remarried before the time limit of 3 months(decree) was up.
She had to wait the extra 5 weeks before remarrying..again.
So I had 2 second marriage dates.:biggrin:
The first one must have been annulled.

I don't know gibbo, It was too far back,
but I do know they lived together for many years before the divorce.
Doubt if they had any cake or celebration....redf)

You will not believe it, but I have just read an entry on the 1911 census, where the mother has put the occupation of a 2 year old as Principally Feeding
