I don't think this has already been posted, but for anyone with Westminster interests, FindMyPast have updated the collection, especially for marriages and burials.  There are definitely a lot more available than previously.   How many gaps remain, though, only time will tell.

Would anyone have access to the Barrow Burial Register for 1854 and could possibly check an entry please?

Suffolk FHS have a note on the burial for William Rosbrook on 18 October 1854 as the "son of Elizabeth", although he was listed as 49 years old and was known to be married.  Elizabeth Rosbrook nee Holden was buried the next day and SFHS have "mother of William" on their index, so its possible the original says "mother of the above".

My own transcripts done around 2001 don't have this note, but then I wasn't as thorough then at transcribing as I am now.  Its possible the note may have been from the BTs, although I would have thought they would have listed that.

If anyone could check the original as my fiche for Barrow only go up to the 1820s, I'd be grateful.

I don't need any other information on William or his family thanks.

Does anyone know whether Victoria are ever likely to bring their online marriage search past 1942 please?  My understand of the privacy rules were that they were restricted for 50 years so in theory one from 1948 should now be accessible, has this changed?

I'm just trying to confirm the first name of my Great Aunt's husband (assuming she did actually marry and didn't just return to the UK 6 months later and assume a new surname).  We have her marriage date from other documents but because the marriage didn't last, nobody alive knows what her husband's first name was.

We don't know for definite it took place in Victoria, but definitely doesn't appear in the NSW records and she did arrive in Australia in Melbourne so may have taken place there.

Thanks

PS.  In case anybody is wondering, my Great Aunt died in 1970 at the age of 68 and I would imagine her husband was of a similar age.

Would anyone be able to check the parish registers for Bocking for a marriage for me please?  I don't currently have a subscription to SEAX, have had one previously.

I'm trying to confirm the father's name of Ellen Louisa Adams who married Thomas Walton Martin on 13 June 1893.  The marriage is registered in Braintree Registration District, but the only obvious Ellen I can find is in Bocking on the 1871-1891 Census, the daughter of Timothy and Mary Adams.  The marriage date is from their daughter's birth in Edinburgh in 1894.  Ellen does though list her birthplace as Braintree on the 1901 and 1911 Census.  The only obvious birth is registered as Ellen L Adams in Jun qtr 1866 Braintree RD.

I don't know for certain they married in Bocking, but it seems a possibility as it was part of Braintree RD.  As this is a distant sideline I'm uninclined to purchase the marriage certificate and as I'm not researching much in Essex at present, I don't really want to take out another subscription at present.

I don't need any other information on the family thanks, just confirmation of her father's name. 

Many thanks.
