Marriage St james Sydney 1842 Thomas LEE Ann WAIT

[CassT]

Hi
I am wondering if another pair of eyes might be able to find details on the NSW BDM Index of a marriage which occurred on 27 Jan 1842 between Thomas LEE and Ann WAIT  at St James, Sydney NSW.

I found this information on the Family Search Site, but have had no luck with the NSW BDM index.

In the SMH 6.6.1851 there is a death Notice for Ann, wife of Thomas Lee of the St Johns Tavern.

On 18.9.1851 Thomas was married to Eliza Cox, I have all the information on Thomas and Eliza's family, and am now  trying to find details of Thomas and Ann

Hi Cass,
  The marriage of Thomas Lee and Anne Leister or Liester took place on 27 Jan 1842 district LD

   Perhaps she was a widow and one was her maiden name and other her widowed name

Well LD is apparently St Mary's Roman Catholic Sydney so maybe not

I think civil registration didn't start till the 1850s so perhaps the record never reached the BMDs.  I guess JM might be along soon to help with this!

FamilySearch definitely has the marriage as quoted by Cass.

Ros, thank you,

looking at the early church codes there was a number of churches named St James in the different Christian denominations , Baptist, C of E , Congregational, Presbyterian, OR where the churches in the Parish/Circuit/District called "St James".

 If St Marys was in the Parish/Circuit/District of St James you might have hit the jackpot,


Judith also a thank you

I also found that entry on the 1825 Muster but could not find any convict with a surname like Wait on the Hoogley, there is a fellow called Jonas Waight on the Countess of Harcourt in 1821 that arrived in Tasmania and  John Wait who was on the Coromondel who is listed on the 1822 general muster of Argyle.

I don't know Ann's parents names, If I can find the marriage details to Thomas Lee, I might get the certificate, however I have found the old cert do not usually include parents name, I wonder if her death certificate might help. If all else fails I will purchase the death cert.

There are plenty of events missing from the online indexes.  If it was the C of E St James I would bet that the number for the entry is 103/1842 V1842104 26C.

Missing entry 103/1842 V1842104 26C
1 Feb VENOUR 104/1842 V1842104 26C

I would contact the Registry and ask them about that missing entry.
