in New Zealand Robert remarried and also died there c 1931

Thanks
Jessie

Hi Jessie,

1874/12895 Jessie  Smith to Robert  Walker  exact date 31/10/1874

The marriage cert will show very little as the early registations only had
Bride and Groom

When and where married
Name and Surname
Age
Rank or profession
Condition
Name of officiating minister (or Registrar)
When registered

Signatures

Signatures of bride and groom
Signatures of the witnesses
Signature of officiating minister (or registrar)

This changed in 1880 when

Father's name and surname
Father's rank or profession
Mothers name and Maiden surname

was added.

As Robert was probably the informant for Janet's death her death "printout" would be a better option,printouts usually contain more information than a legal certificate as it is a copy of the register entry,

 
1886/3293 Walker  Janet  47Y

Cheers Janette
