Ancestry's Australia-wide transcription of the state marriage indexes, 1788-1950. Compiled from the state registries, so it is the same underlying source as a state BDM index rather than an independent one, and it is a transcription: no certificate has been seen. Its value on this family is that it is Australia-wide and that its surname search is fuzzy, which is how it surfaced rows indexed as "Stilier" and "Stieler" that every exact search for Stiller had missed.

For “Married” 1925 of James Leo Leslie Stiller & Beatrice V Bradford

James L L Stilier | 1925 | Peak Hill, New South Wales | Beatrice V Bradford

One results row, cells in the collection's own column order: Name, Marriage Year, Marriage Place, Spouse. Read 2026-09-05; the record page and any image were not opened, hence quality 2. THE SURNAME IS INDEXED "STILIER", a transcription slip, which is why no search for Stiller found it. The identification is not in doubt: the given-name string James L L is exactly how the NSW birth and death indexes render him, Beatrice V Bradford is exactly the wife his headstone names, and Peak Hill is the family's town. Their son Leslie James was born at Peak Hill the following year, 1926. The index gives the year only, so no day or month is recorded, and Peak Hill is the registration district.
