Edith May Dodkins | South Africa, Transvaal, Civil Marriages, 1870-1931 | Bride | Marriage Banns 5 February 1903 | Germiston, Transvaal, South Africa | Birth 1885 | Spouses Charles Foggon

The bride's side of the Germiston banns row, quoted as relayed from the FamilySearch index; it is the entry that carries the date and the place. Mirrors citation 53651 on Charles #82910, whose groom-side companion row reads 'Charles Foggon | Groom | Birth 1880' (citation 53652) - that stated birth year matches his NSW birth registration 20507/1880 at Lambton, which is what identifies the groom. The banns event had no citation of its own.

The banns event itself. The record type is BANNS, not the solemnisation, which is why the event is MARB; the row's 'Birth 1885' is an age-derived figure a year off her own baptism entry.

FamilySearch index row, quoted as relayed. This is the marriage no Australian index holds: NSW BDM (groom FOGGON 1895-1940, bride DODKINS 1900-1915), QLD BDM marriages Foggon, and Trove were all read to nil. The record type is BANNS, so the event is entered as MARB and the union type set to married on the strength of it plus the couple's children from 1903; the solemnisation date itself is not in this row. The row's 'Birth 1885' is a year off her own baptism entry (4 Jan 1886) - an age-derived figure, not a contradiction of the register.

For Charles Foggon (1880–1969)

Charles Foggon | Groom | Birth 1880

The groom's side of the same Germiston banns row. Its stated birth year 1880 matches his NSW birth registration 20507/1880 at Lambton exactly, which is what identifies the groom as #82910 and places him in the Transvaal at the close of the Boer War. Worth chasing next: the Australian contingents' nominal rolls for a Charles Foggon born 1880 at Lambton.
