Sometimes it is better to use the email option, and in the email say in effect "please pass my enquiry up to the person within your organisation who would have the fullest explanation at their fingertips"

When I first received the m.c. I wrote to NSW BDM asking for more information relating to the reference numbers. The person who telephoned me was unable to offer an explanation.
I will try again using the email option.
From your initial story I feel you wanted to knwo why the missinformation was supplied on the original marriage certificate??
And subsequently what happened as to why it was altered to contain the correct parentage?
Now can I ask who were the witness on the certificate?
One would feel if Brenda was in the care of Norman's relation would not she know her own fathers name and the fact that he did in the Great War and that her mum did in 1920.
?
Did she marry in a registery office or a church?
thanks JEnn
The marriage took place in church, St. Thomas' at Rozelle. The witnesses to the marriage are not family members. I have not tried to trace them; the chances of them still being alive is remote, being adults at the time of the marriage they would now be over 100 years of age.
I agree, it seems unrealistic that Brenda would not know the name of her parents. Especially as the marriage certificates for her siblings do have the correct parents' names recorded without any notation, and one marriage was prior to Brenda's.
Cheers, Jenster
