Thanks all so far, if my notes are correct according to Ancestry there should be 3 more.
Will try and double check what we have so far.

Do you have the 1856 birth cert for Annie Letitia?  If so, what information does it give you about her parents?
For example
When and Where were they married?

See reply #10.

Margaret BENNETT and Andrew ANSBERY marriage registered 1855,  #2166.  This document should give you information about the respective parents of Margaret and of Andrew.  To me, if this was my family, it would be a 'must have' document. 

Any info on Andrew Anesbury and his wife Margaret Bennett, thier ancesters, children ect.
we only have info on one daughter Annie Letitia, she married a Thomas Brooks 08/july/1875 in Balalie S.Aust.

Thomas Brooks, son of Joseph Brooks and Elizabeth Stokes.

Hi Martin,

Your topic heading is for Andrew and Margaret, and I have posted the reference number for their 1855 marriage in Victoria. 

Do you have the image of that marriage registration?   

It should give you information about Andrew and about Margaret (when and where born) and about their respective parents - if you have the image of that marriage cert, please consider sharing the info on it so that all the RChatters helping on this thread can have confidence in the info they are posting.

This is the difficulty I'm having, I'm unable to find any cert. online but other Anesbury and Brooks researchers  have Andrew Anesbury born in Essex 1824 and marrying a Margaret Ann Bennett in Melbourne 15 SEP. 1855. She was born in Torkay, Devonshire. Born 1834
I think Andrew arrived in Australia on board the Amazon. They may have met on the ship coming over.
Frustrating.

Martin,  I am sure you have read, over the years, from many an RChatter on the Australia Board when helping on your threads there and on the Scottish Board too, about the value of getting the actual document rather than relying on what you can read online.

Actual images of both the 1855 marriage certificate and the 1856 birth certificate are both available to download immediately from the Victorian BDM via their online purchase option.  They will cost you $24.50 each.

It is often wise to actually obtain the actual image of the record rather than rely on what you can see online from other people's trees.   The image that you can download from Vic BDM for that 1855 marriage should be a serious contender for a MUST HAVE document.  It will have first hand information that both Andrew and Margaret provided to the clergyman who married them.   Victoria's BDM certificates are very very detailed, and are reknown throughout the family history communities around the world as being among the most informative documents - as good as Scottish documents -  and so much more detailed than say South Australia's BDM records.
