help finding marriage please
« on: Sunday 01 January 12 05:33 GMT (UK) »
Hello

Following on from my previous posting
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,572981.0.html

I am trying to find the marriage of Colin Henry BIGGIN and Daisy Florence (?), both died in Brisbane 1993.  Colin was born in Horsham Vic 1908 and by 1930's was living in NSW.  I have tried searching for his marriage in both Victoria and NSW, but with no success. Unfortunately I do not know the maiden name of Daisy Florence. 

I have the birth certificate of his granddaughter which states his son Thomas Heywood BIGGIN deceased 2005 was born in Lismore 1939.

Have tried every search variation but coming up zilch ::).  Would be grateful of any assistance.

Many thanks

E,

There is a very brief family tree info on a subscription site that suggests that Daisy Florence was Daisy Florence Vidler.

There is no marriage date info at all.

There is though, a birth on the NSW BDM site for a Daisy F Vidler in 1908 Registration at Murwillumbah.

Regards
Gerry

Hi Gerry

Many thanks,  at least I now may have have a surname for Daisy Florence as the NSW birth in 1908 matches her cemetery records in Brisbane. 

Very strange no marriage anywhere.

Update just found this entry
Daisy F Vidler was born 7 Jan 1908 in Murwillumbah. She was the daughter of 2. Herbert Ebenezer Vidler and 3. Ada Blanche Boxsell. She married Vincent Jones. She married Colin Biggin. 

I can find her marriage to Vincent F Jones in 1924 at Murwillumbah - strange it is listed twice Reg 8702 & 8709.  Still cannot find her marriage to Colin Biggin !

Hi Gerry and Essie

Thanks for all the help, cannot find a death for Vincent F Jones so they may have divorced?  Will have to delve a little further.....bye E

Hi Gerry,

You are narrowing the gap if they were still together in 1936 then the marriage to Colin Biggin must have occured 1937-39 as Thomas Biggin was born 1939 in Lismore. mmmmmmh

If Florence and Vincent did not divorce, then possibly there is no marriage to find for Florence and Colin Henry Biggin.


WW2 enlistments have numerous Vidlers born northern coastal areas NSW, and many enlisted in Queensland.   


Also, just for interest -
Alan Biggin, b. 16 Jun 1912, Hoptourn, Vic, enlisted Coffs Harbour...maybe a brother?
