Australia Lookups completed / Lilla Elizabeth Bean marriage
« on: Friday 19 January 24 15:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me, I volunteer at a museum and we have Lilla Bean's wedding dress which we would like to display this year. I know she married Linton Hall Swann on 25.11.1903 at St Peter, Glenelg, Adelaide, South Australia.
I know she travelled to England arriving 22.5.1915 with children Marian, Francis and Salmon.
It would be lovely to display a photo of her alongside the dress - does anyone find a wedding report in a local newspaper? I have had no luck so far.
many thanks.

The Common Room / 1933's register
« on: Sunday 19 November 23 18:20 GMT (UK) »
I have just found a newspaper report saying that all men born between 1-31 July 1933 must register for under the 'national service acts' on Saturday - then details of the local office in Newmarket Suffolk where to register.
on the same page of the newspaper is details of probate being granted for Sidney John Ennion which occurred on 30 April 1951- so newspaper must be about this date.
My question is are these records still in existence? and do you think we will ever be able to search them?

I will keep looking for my people now
