Purchased Marriage Certificate and can't read it! (1878)

[nathanb98]

Hi everyone, I purchased a marriage certificate and am frustrated as I can't make out the handwriting
The record is from the Victorian registry of bdm, Australia

Please please please can someone help me! I am most concerned with the birthplace of the groom Charles Brown (this is at the very top right corner)

Thanks is advance to anyone who can help me

Thanks,
Nathan

This is the index of the marriage on the Victorian disc.
This is as the transcriber to the index sees it.

BROWN Charles Birth Place SWEDEN
MULLANEY Mary Birth Place Adelaide
Year 1878

I can see why you have a problem trying to read that!

Looking at word "Spinster" the "S" looks similiar to the first letter of the second word of Charles Browns placename.

This item supports the transcriber's interpretation perhaps.

Oh I was hoping that it would say Sweden! That's why I bought it just to confirm any Swedish ancestry and debunk a family myth! And yes looking at the S of spinster I do see Sweden now, if only I could figure out the first word...

I think ***dam.
The European board of Rootschat may be able to help.
There were some children .
Do you need them?
