Marriage says William was over 21 but don't know how much and Jane was 21 in 1853.

Must be an error.

William Ledlie
Event Type Death
Event Date Apr - Jun 1878
Event Place Armagh, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year Apr - Jun 1878
Registration District Armagh
Age 38
Birth Year (Estimated) 1840
Volume Number 1


Also if the marriage was by Licence then it's not banns so why two dates??


No sign of a birth reg for Robert. No parents on death reg but service record has a brother Jack in Herberton as NOK.

Thanks Val.

A Rev. R Lindsay also on parents marriage in 1853.


A bit curious.

He passed away on 3 January 1951 when his last address was 33 Liverpool Street, Paddington, NSW.
1943 NSW Electoral Roll - East Sydney - Glenmore
LEDLIE Robert Johnson, 33 Liverpool street, ----

1949 NSW Electoral Roll - North Sydney - North Sydney
LEDLIE Robert Johnson, Graythwaite, Edward street, ----

Graythwaite was at that time a nursing home and rehabilitation place for war veterans.

Death 530/1951 LEDLIE ROBERT JOHNSON - NEWCASTLE UNKNOWN BURWOOD * 3 Jan 1951

Place of death Newcastle and registered in Burwood. All rather odd.
