The NSW BDM historical marriage index, published to 28 August 1976. It names both parties and the registration district but has NO parent columns at all, so it can establish a maiden surname and can never confirm parentage. The site refuses scripted requests and is read in a browser. Results-table column order as RENDERED: Registration Number, Groom's Family Name, Groom's Given Name(s), Bride's Family Name(s), Bride's Given Name(s), District, PDF availability — the page's own header text lists PDF availability first, which it is not.

Registration 9526/1907 = certificate 1907/009526 held on this record. Bride's family name indexed as Fergusson, where the tree has Hunt — see the proposal note; no name changed.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 11038/1921 · Year 1921 · District PETERSHAM Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1921 of William Webster Charles & Lillian Gladys Trueman

Unavailable | 11038/1921 | CHARLES | WILLIAM W | TRUEMAN | LILLIAN G | PETERSHAM

Confirms the year and district already recorded on this event, which until now carried only a Public Member Trees citation on the family.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 3400/1881 · District PICTON Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 24 FEB 1881 of Herbert Cole Charles & Mary Ann Webster

3400/1881 | COLE | CHARLES | WEBSTER | MARY | PICTON

NSW marriage-index row, columns in the index's own order (Registration Number | Groom's Family Name | Groom's Given Name(s) | Bride's Family Name(s) | Bride's Given Name(s) | District), retrieved via the NSW BDM historical search. The groom is indexed name-inverted -- family name COLE, given CHARLES -- an evident clerical transposition of Herbert Cole Charles's middle name and surname; bride WEBSTER MARY and district PICTON match this couple. This is the correct registration for the marriage. The DB's previous 'Condobolin' value was a wrong-record conflation with a different couple registered the same year under the same surname: 3829/1881, CHARLES PROBERT x MACKELL MARY ANN, Condobolin.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 10189/1911 · District ORANGE · Year 1911 Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1911 of Harry Edward Trueman & Caroline Williams

10189/1911 | TRUEMAN | HARRY E | WILLIAMS | CAROLINE | ORANGE | Unavailable

Supports the marriage event's year and district. The index publishes no day and no church, so the event carries the bare year 1911; the place is Orange #1155, the registration district, not a stated place of marriage.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 4756/1926 · Year 1926 · District SYDNEY Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1926 of Arthur Cornwall Snowdon & Gladys Irene Beattie

4756/1926 | SNOWDEN | ARTHUR C | BEATTIE | GLADYS I | SYDNEY

NSW BDM marriages results-table row, column order Registration Number | Groom's Family Name | Groom's Given Name(s) | Bride's Family Name(s) | Bride's Given Name(s) | District. Groom indexed as SNOWDEN; SNOWDON is the couple's usual spelling elsewhere and kept as primary.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 3846/1915 · Year 1915 · District GOULBURN Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 24 MAR 1915 of Philip Kidd & Alice M Trueman

3846/1915 | KIDD | PHILIP | TRUEMAN | ALICE M | GOULBURN

NSW BDM historical marriage index, number search 3846/1915 (the number came from an Ancestry Australia Marriage Index hint), read in Chrome 2026-09-06; columns as rendered: Registration Number | Groom's Family Name | Groom's Given Name(s) | Bride's Family Name(s) | Bride's Given Name(s) | District. Year and district only; the day is from the newspaper report.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 5069/1912 · Year 1912 · District Bega Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1912 of Henry Cole & Mary A Thomson

5069/1912 | COLE | HENRY | THOMSON | MARY A | BEGA

NSW BDM historical marriage index row, columns Registration number | Groom's family name | Groom's given name(s) | Bride's family name(s) | Bride's given name(s) | District. His second marriage, eleven years after Harriet Jane died at Eden in 1901, and in the district where the family had lived since the 1870s. The index has no parent columns, so it cannot on its own confirm which Henry Cole this is — but his 1914 death notice calls him 'late of Bega', which ties the Bega marriage, the Bega residence and the Kensington death to one man. Mary A Thomson is created with no dates; nothing further is known of her.

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1912 of Henry Cole & Mary A Thomson

5069/1912 | COLE | HENRY | THOMSON | MARY A | BEGA

NSW BDM historical marriage index row, columns Registration number | Groom's family name | Groom's given name(s) | Bride's family name(s) | Bride's given name(s) | District. His second marriage, eleven years after Harriet Jane died at Eden in 1901, and in the district where the family had lived since the 1870s. The index has no parent columns, so it cannot on its own confirm which Henry Cole this is — but his 1914 death notice calls him 'late of Bega', which ties the Bega marriage, the Bega residence and the Kensington death to one man.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 6386/1912 · Year 1912 · District Marrickville Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1912 of Wenzel Albert Grenenger & Esther Elizabeth Brown

6386/1912 | WENZEL A | BROWN ESTHER E | MARRICKVILLE

NSW BDM historical marriage index row. A genuinely new fact about the Angoniland man: he was back in New South Wales in 1912, marrying at Marrickville, between the letters home of 1903-06 and his death in Nyasaland in 1950. The Braidwood Dispatch of 1944 said he 'visited Braidwood once since, so far as we can learn, in about the year 1902' — this registration shows the paper's information was incomplete. Note the coincidence of surnames: his own mother was Elizabeth Brown, and his wife is a Brown too; they are different families and nothing suggests a connection.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 13336/1925 · Year 1925 · District Burwood Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1925 of Wenzel Samuel Grenenger & Jessie Burt

13336/1925 | WENZEL S | BURT JESSIE | BURWOOD

NSW BDM historical marriage index row. His SECOND marriage: his first wife Kathleen Irene Wyatt died at Coffs Harbour on 5 August 1924 aged 24, and he remarried at Burwood the following year. Neither wife was in the tree.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 10703/1909 · Year 1909 · District Braidwood Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1909 of Leslie Augustus Grenenger & Mena Maria Lee

10703/1909 | LESLIE A | LEE MENA M | BRAIDWOOD

NSW BDM historical marriage index row. Their four children are registered at Braidwood 1911-1917 (Male 13662/1911, Thomas E 14155/1912, Eunice C 33358/1914, Enid L 26359/1917) and are not created here.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 15101/1922 · Year 1922 · District Burwood Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1922 of Albert John Grenenger & Constance G Garnett

15101/1922 | ALBERT J | GARNETT CONSTANCE G | BURWOOD

NSW BDM historical marriage index row. Their son John A E was registered 51283/1923 at Burwood and married Joyce Margaret Waddington in 1948 (1260/1948 Ashfield); their son Donald William McArthur Grenenger died 20701/1974 with parents given as Albert John and Constance Gertrude, which expands her second given name. Neither child is created here.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 4513/1929 · Year 1929 · District Wagga Wagga Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” 1929 of Arthur Ernest Bega Grenenger & Myra Alice Teakel

4513/1929 | ARTHUR E B | TEAKEL MYRA A | WAGGA WAGGA

NSW BDM historical marriage index row. WAGGA WAGGA is a long way from the family's south-coast and Sydney ground and is worth noting: it suggests he was living in the Riverina in the late 1920s, though he died at Manly in 1967. The cemetery index spells her Teakel as the registration does.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 3316/1877 · Index marriages Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For “Married” SEP 1877 of William John Nelson & Harriett Rebecca Barber

3316/1877 | NELSON | WILLIAM JOHN | BARBER | HARRIET REBECCA | MACLEAY RIVER

NSW marriage index, columns Registration number | Groom surname | Groom given | Bride surname | Bride given | District. The index gives the year only; the month comes from the 1947 obituary already cited on the family.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 10189/1911 · District ORANGE · Year 1911 Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For Harry Edward Trueman & Caroline Williams

10189/1911 | TRUEMAN | HARRY E | WILLIAMS | CAROLINE | ORANGE | Unavailable

The registration of this union, which until now rested only on the two newspaper notices already cited here. It dates the marriage to 1911 and places the registration at Orange, where his first wife died in April 1909 — the district is what ties the second marriage to the end of the first.

New South Wales marriage registrations Registration No 4924/1894 · District MOLONG · Year 1894 Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For Hector Caldwell & Lilian Cecil Trueman

4924/1894 | CALDWELL | HECTOR | TRUEMAN | LILIAN C | MOLONG | Unavailable

The registration of this union. The index publishes the year only, so the 25 December 1893 on the event comes from the golden-wedding notice, not from here; a Christmas Day marriage registering in the following year is routine, and the district is Molong in both. This index has no parent columns, so it identifies the bride by name and district and says nothing about whose daughter she is.

New South Wales marriage registrations 1607/1862 Primary

New South Wales marriage registrations · NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages · NSW BDM

For Wenzel Grenenger & Harriet Mary Finch

1607/1862 | GRENENGER | WENZEL | FINCH | HARRIET MARY | BRAIDWOOD

NSW marriage index. Children indexed to Wenzel × Harriet: Jane J M 7697/1870 Braidwood, Wenzel Edward B 7989/1873 Braidwood, George Edward 3629/1875 Concord (d. 1952 'son of the late Wenzel Grenenger of Burwood'). John August's own death index names the same parents.

For Lilian Cecil Trueman (1875–1961)

4924/1894 | CALDWELL | HECTOR | TRUEMAN | LILIAN C | MOLONG | Unavailable

One result row, cells quoted whole in the results table's own RENDERED order: Registration Number, Groom's Family Name, Groom's Given Name(s), Bride's Family Name(s), Bride's Given Name(s), District, PDF availability. The only Caldwell-Trueman marriage in New South Wales 1890-1900. It is her maiden surname and her marriage; the initial "LILIAN C" here is an abbreviation, not a spelling variant, so it gets no name row — her full given names come from the 1961 death registration cited beside this.
