Hi,
I'm looking for an early NSW marriage record for William Walter Clutton to Bridget (m. 1836???) Their children were all born in and around Braidwood, NSW. But I cannot find a record of their marriage.
What I do know is that they had 4 children:
Elizabeth Clara Clutton b. 1836, Braidwood, NSW
Henry Walter Clutton b. 1839-1880, Braidwood, NSW
Frederick Ernest (Augustus) Clutton b.1841, Goulburn NSW
Cassandra Ellen Clutton b. 1845-1866, Braidwood, NSW
Any information on their marriage would be appreciated,
Thanks,

Thanks Sue
That's the one.
I didn't think to check the Family Search Website, I've not found many matches before.
I'll have to bookmark it for next time.

Hi,
I do note is a submitted record and it is sensible to be cautious when sources are not stated.
;D

Thankyou for the warning, Sue. I'll pencil it in for the moment. And thanks again for the help.

Hi JJ,
I realise that your topic has been completed but I am interested to know whether or not you had any success with your research. I attended a family reunion for him about 5 years ago and have quite a lot of information.

Hello idamaud,
I realise this is a few years after you posted, but I am trying to find the same marriage, as I am researching the Clutton's for my husband.
Does anyone know how I can find Bridget's surname? Is it likely to be on the Birth Records of the four children (the Index just shows father William Clutton, mother Bridget).
Some Ancestry Trees have her as Bridget Thornton, also married to William Burke(1826).
Most of my family come from Scotland, so I'm not used to searching in Australia, any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Anne ???
