Re the 1869 marriage (NSW BDM # 549/1869, registered Sydney)....

You show  Joseph James Stone as a witness to Ellen’s marriage, and Joseph as a French Polisher.

Have you checked through the free to search Sands Directories available via the City of Sydney Archives?

I can see there’s a J J STONE, French polisher,  at 125 Dowling St, in the 1870 Sands (closing date for entries was end of Oct of the year prior, so for the 1870 listing the closing date was October 1869)

I have hardcopy of many NSW Electoral Rolls for 1870, but I cannot see Joseph in the East Sydney one (most Dowling St would be in that electorate).  ADD,  Joseph NOT listed on Newtown ER for 1870 either.

Have you looked through the free to search City of Sydney Archives Assessment books (includes tenants, not just landlords/property owners)?

Sands : http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/learn/search-our-collections/sands-directory

Yes I have searched those links before when searching Joseph James Stone.

As for Alexander Wood the last index I can find him on is the Sands directory 1884 French Polisher at 1 Eliza street Newtown.

Can you please explain about your "unknowns" .... are these simply the usual elusive blanks caused by the NSW BDM not yet reconciling their summary records with the actual original church registers?
The NSW BDM's own webpage acknowledges these flaws. 

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/family-history/registry-records.aspx
"Some Registry marriage records from these years recorded only the details pertaining to the parties to the marriage. Details of the parents had been left blank although they appeared in the Church registers. These registrations were amended and a notation made in the margin to record the circumstances of the amendment.

The task of reconciling the Early Church Records and amending the marriage registrations was never finalised. The Registry's records from these years are not complete and it can be worthwhile for genealogists to contact the relevant church to find details missing from a marriage certificate "

Here's a (now lengthy) thread I prepared some time ago to help overcome those elusive blanks.   The information was actually provided to the clergy, but not forwarded to the NSW BDM at the time of registration.  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,546609.0.html

Cheers,  JM

The only death for an Alex* WOOD* 1898-1905 IF the information on the above two marriages is correct appears to be this one  :-\

Alexander WOOD d. 31 Mar, 1902 PARRAMATTA #6464
Parents: George H & Caroline

Thanks Merlin
A you said that's if the information is correct, a journalist seemed odd. Checked Trove for a Wood, Journalist and nothing. My only thought with the 1902 death is the informant new both his parents names. That's me being sceptical.

Another one which shouldn't be ruled out mainly because I have found nothing on Alexander after 1884.

death
8222/1886 WOOD ALEXANDER
mother JANE E   
district CENTRAL CUMBERLAND

EDIT; Forgot to mention I rang Rookwood cemetery and they said nobody else was buried with Ellen.

I am assuming that you do not have an age or birthplace (which might help to identify parents) for Alexander, the better to find his death?

Do you have an age and birthplace for Alexander John NASH  from birth certificate of a child?

No I don't, all my research is through Ellen so the marriage certificate has no age no parents apart from occupation. Frustrating as name changes doesn't help.

No I don't have burial location, would be interesting to see who is with her. Unfortunately the Rookwood site has been down it seems forever ???

Well, you can Phone, Fax or Email them with your request.. as that's what most researchers have been doing since the site has gone offline  ;)

Thanks Merlin, I will email a request to see who is with Ellen. I do have the Rookwood cemetery cd but she is not there.

Is the place of burial for Ellen WOOD on her death certificate?

Merlin the Burial Rookwood Cemetery 13 Oct 1884
I know it's not this one as I have death certificate of Alexander J N WOODS in 1896

Do you have her burial location & checked with Rookwood Cemetery to see if anyone else is buried with her?

Yes, the 1896 death is an infant.

No I don't have burial location, would be interesting to see who is with her. Unfortunately the Rookwood site has been down it seems forever ???
