Title: Victoria marriage record 1887
Post by: jayaygee on Wednesday 10 January 18 22:27 GMT (UK)

Please could someone tell me what information there would be on the certificate for a marriage in 1887 in Victoria and in particular if the divorce of one party would be mentioned.

Thanks in advance for any help.
