Very odd.

Marriage 12508/1959 FLEMING JAMES - HARRIS JESSIE MATILDA - MURWILLUMBAH * 15 May 1959

Nothing for James after that.

1963 ? Not in index ? Not McPherson - Coolangatta

[horse]

Yeah, strange... That's why I thought 1958-1968 James died or they separated... Address appears same for 1958 & 1968

Nothing for James after that.

Difficult to comment on, no obvious connecting info

Geoff

 

[horse]

Is there a birth or marriage for Jean 1914/15?

Geoff

 

[horse]

Difficult to understand why they have the property in 1958 together and Jessie is there in 1968... Who is there in 1963?

Geoff

 

[horse]

Need to go now, Dave.. Speak later.
