South Australia - 1975 Marriage ?
« on: Thursday 24 April 14 18:09 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Both parties to this marriage have died,
but I need the brides maiden surname.

If you can help please contact me by private message.

Cheers

This information is not available from public records in South Australia.  There is a 75 year embargo on marriage registrations.
http://www.cbs.sa.gov.au/assets/files/bdm_four_in_one_form_14.pdf

As both parties are deceased you could post the names.  It is possible that someone may recognise the names or there may be an online tree.  It is also possible that a death notice/s may mention the wife's maiden name.

Cheers  :)

Hi Cando,

Thank you for the reply.

Do you mean that there are NO indices available to the public ?

The event took place at St.Bede's, Elwood, South Australia on 18 April 1975.
My wife even has their wedding photo album..  but not the Brides maiden surname!

Umm.. can you tell me the name of a Local Newspaper that covered Elwood in 1975?
I did check the Ryerson Index.

Regards
JonJon

St Bede's, Elwood is in the State of Victoria not South Australia.  Elwood is a suburb of Melbourne, capital of Victoria.

Online digitised newspapers only extend to c1954.

Victorian marriage certificates not available for 60 years after the event.  Online indexes extend to 1942 and many of us have our resources.

The Herald Sun and The Age are the main newspapers in Melbourne.  Perhaps there may have been an engagement notice or marriage notice in the Personal Announcements.  If the wife had distinctive given names it may be possible to identify her in the online electoral rolls to 1980.

St Bedes has been re-developed....
St Bedes, Multi-Storey Residential Development and Church Conversion (20 units in total), Ormond Rd, Elwood ($8M)

Where and when did these people die?

Hi again,

Thanks for the follow-up.

The bride's given names are Larraine Mary Florence.
She died in South Australia in 1998 and these names are from the Cemetery Records.
My wife and I only knew her as Larraine.

Regards
JonJon

Are you sure it was in South Australia?  Which cemetery?
