There is a little in BISA about Richard REES and his two marriages. Have you this info?

Cheers

Nudge the only two births I can see to this couple are


REECE
David
6 Apr 1868
Father Richard REECE  Mother Christena (fmly) BLAKE (nee) MCFEAT
Nr Marrabel   Gil 62/581

REECE
Richard
16 Feb1872
Father Richard REECE  Mother Christina (fmly) BLAKE (nee) MCFEAT
Nr Springfield  Kap 106/401

Their marriage reg on the index is not REES...been mistranscribed as REESE.

I have searched using wildcards...even just mother Ch* BLAKE and the above regs are the only ones that are showing.

Nudge I am puzzled why I can't find this birth....unless of course it wasn't registered.    Have you a baptism record?
