Australia, Marriage Index, 1788-1950 · Ancestry
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” 28 AUG 1918 of David Henry Charles & Harriet Lucy Napper
SelfName: David H Charles | SelfMarriageDate: 1918 | SelfMarriagePlace: Moss Vale, New South Wales | Spouse: Lucy H Napper | SourceCertificateNumber: 9428
Confirms the previously-uncited 1918 Moss Vale marriage to Harriet Lucy Napper already recorded. A separate newspaper index (not fetched, hint only) names the marriage locality as 'Yarranga', a place within the Moss Vale district not in the place table -- not asserted as a separate location.

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.

For “Married” 1919 of Francis Young & Mabel Lilian Trompf
Name: Francis Charles Young | Marriage Date: 1919 | Marriage Place: Victoria | Registration Date: 1919 | Registration Place: Victoria, Australia | Spouse: Mabel Liln Trompf | Registration Number: 7522
Ancestry "Australia, Marriage Index, 1788-1950" (dbid 1810), read in the owner's signed-in Chrome by the orchestrator 2026-09-17/18 per a held chromeRequest from the first pass (family had unionType married + startDate 1919 with zero citations, state unresolved; a free QLD BDM check had already come back negative). This settles the state question: Victoria, not Western Australia or Queensland -- and matches the family's already-recorded 1919 year exactly. The index's spouse rendering 'Mabel Liln Trompf' reads as an OCR/transcription rendering of 'Mabel Lilian Trompf', the tree's existing name -- corroborated by her own death record below. Husband's middle name 'Charles', not previously recorded, is added as an attested aka name in this proposal.
