Victorian historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1026/1863 Primary

Victorian historical birth, death and marriage index · Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria

For “Married” 15 JAN 1863 of Joseph Hammer & Lilias Catherine Vesey

HAMNER | Joseph | Marriage | VESEY, Lillias Catherine | 1863 | 1026/1863

Victorian BDM marriage index (source 1719, VIC-BDM-3.md); spells the surname HAMNER here vs HAMMER on his wife's 1901 death record below and in the family's normal spelling -- flagged, no aka-name row added in this proposal pending confirming the op shape. Corroborates the year of the already-recorded 15 Jan 1863 marriage (event 124549); no date/place change.

Victorian historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 8322/1901 Primary

Victorian historical birth, death and marriage index · Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria

For “Died” 1901 of Lilias Catherine Vesey

HAMMER | Lillias Cath | Death | <Unknown Family Name>, Lillias | BLYTH | <Unknown Family Name>, Vesey Jas Pat | Ballt | | | 54 | 1901 | 8322/1901

Victorian BDM index (source 1719, VIC-BDM-3.md). Mother 'Lillias' nee Blyth matches her recorded mother (81803). CONTRADICTION FLAGGED, NOT RESOLVED: father given as 'Vesey Jas Pat' (James Patrick), not 'John Hester Vesey' as recorded on her family-32573 link -- an unreconciled discrepancy that echoes the one on person 81578's own death record above; her father link (81802) is NOT changed. District 'Ballt' (Ballarat) is not treated as contradicting her already-recorded death place Sebastopol, a locality within the Ballarat district; deathPlaceId unchanged. Age 54 in 1901 is consistent with her recorded 1846 birth year.

Mother's birth surname Hankinson; father given Joseph. Corroborates an Ancestry hint (Australia Births and Baptisms 1792-1981, ark:/61903/1:1:XTZL-62Z): baptism 24 Aug 1866 St Mary's Caulfield, parents Joseph Snowdon x Mary - hint not independently fetched, cited only as corroboration.

Victorian historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 4110/1880 · Year 1880 · District Victoria Primary

Victorian historical birth, death and marriage index · Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria

For “Married” 1880 of Wenzel Grenenger & Jane Sarah Finch

GRENENGER | Winzel | Marriage | FINCH, Jane Sarah | | | | | | | 1880 | 4110/1880

Victorian BDM historical index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Family name | Given name(s) | Event | Mother's name / Spouse's name | Mother's family name at birth | Father's name | Place of birth | Place of death | Spouse at Death | Age at Death | Reg. year | Reg. number — the blank columns are blank on the row. The bride-side twin reads 'FINCH | Jane Sarah | Marriage | GRENENGER, Winzel | | | | | | | 1880 | 4110/1880'. Read in Chrome by the orchestrator on 2026-09-07; the transcription is theirs. This resolves a documented nil: no NSW marriage exists for them under any spelling 1855-1899, and a search of NSW brides named FINCH Jane 1875-85 returned nothing. Marriage to a deceased wife's sister was legalised in Victoria in 1873 and in New South Wales in 1875; the couple married in Victoria in 1880, the year after Harriet Mary Finch died, and their eldest child Gertrude was registered at Canterbury, NSW in 1881.

Victorian historical BDM index (Chrome, orchestrator, 2026-09-17), searches KOWALD given ELDRED* and UEBERGANG given ALMA*, 1885-1996, all events. Marriage rows: Family name | Given name(s) | Event | Spouse | Reg. year | Reg. number - the marriage is indexed under both parties. The UEBERGANG ALMA* search also returned her birth 'UEBERGANG | Alma Louise | Birth | Maria Eli | PELCHEN | Ernest August | MURT | 1893 | 15369/1893', matching her tree parents.

For “Married” 1907 of Oliphant Bamford & Mildred Evelyn Grace Trompf

BAMFORD | Oliphant | Marriage | TROMPF, Mildred Evelyn Grace | | | | | | | 1907 | 2096/1907 || TROMPF | Mildred Evelyn Grace | Marriage | BAMFORD, Oliphant | | | | | | | 1907 | 2096/1907

Victorian historical BDM index (source 1719), fetched by the orchestrator in Chrome 2026-09-17/18. Columns per the source's own layout: Family name | Given name(s) | Event | Spouse's name | Mother's family name at birth | Father's name | Place of birth | Place of death | Spouse at Death | Age at Death | Reg. year | Reg. number — every middle column blank on this marriage-type row. Reg. 2096/1907 confirms the marriage year exactly matches the family's existing 1907 startDate (previously WikiTree-only, quality 1, citation #57925); this upgrades that to a primary quality-3 record. No district given.

Victorian historical BDM index (source 1719), fetched by the orchestrator in Chrome 2026-09-17/18. 'Chas' is the index's own abbreviation of Charles; 'Truda Eugene' omits the middle name 'Eileen' already recorded on the tree (Truda Eileen Eugene Elliott) — an index truncation, not a contradiction, left as-is. Reg. 2065/1926 confirms the marriage year exactly matches the family's existing 1926 startDate (previously WikiTree-only, quality 1, citation #57932); this upgrades that to a primary quality-3 record. No district given.

Columns as returned: Surname | Given name | Event type | Spouse (surname, given) | Year | RegistrationNo. Matches the tree's existing family.startDate '1925' exactly. The index spells the groom's given name 'Milton Edgar' rather than 'Wilton Edgar' - recorded separately as an attested aka, not a correction.
