Hi
I have Stephen George Halliday married Alice Orpin..in 1908 ...can't find them in 1911 in 1912 Stephen went to Australia, i presume for work as in 1913 Alice followed with their four children all under 4 years of age ( poor woman)
One of thier children, Lydia Lillian Eileen,( born1910) married Edward John Humphreys (born 1897) in 1925, he arrived from Wales in 1922. They had a daughter called Alice Catherine married Ivan William Roser
Ive been told Lydia died in 2001 ( thanks to RC members)
A couple of questions....
What age is it legal to marry in OZ because if they married in 1925, Lydia was only 15 ?or maybe just 16 or they said she was older
What info is available on Oz marriage certs and as im in the UK how much are they ?
Hoping really that i can connected with someone related to the theses names, i had given up hope of finding my Great Uncle Edward as all i knew was he emigrated to Australia.. would like the family of Lydia to know about his family back in Wales.
