Yes, that's a m.c. that has not been reconciled.
The clergyman's register should be extant. I will make some phone calls. Could be a week or so before I know where the register is currently held. Notice it is all in the same handwriting - the clergyman's hand. Notice there's no details in Birthplace, Age, Father's name, mother's name and maiden surname, Father's occupation and NO margin notes to the right of the witness signatures.
I can add a point of interest ... there is also NO mention of the bride needing to have someone give permission for her to marry.... so it is fair to conclude that the bride was at least 21 years of age.
ADD those 1876/1878 details could be family members for the bride. Brides in that era in rural NSW were often returning 'home' to be married from Mum and Dad's home.
JM...Yes re the marriage not being reconciled (that's the word!)...I used 'updated' in my post
Re the age of bride Ada which you enquired about, definitely born 1861 not 1864 as on those obviously copied trees as her burial suggests a birth yr of 1866

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/213683073/ada-clara-steeleMany thanks for going the extra mile to see if you can locate the 'missing' info. from the marriage, it's very much appreciated!
I forgot to add, my Ancestry 'prescription' is up-to-date & I'm adding the info. to my tree as a 'possible' connection to see where it takes me.
I had a look at the WA site re a DC for William 1939 but I'm not understanding it fully as I think I need to have documentation of proof of relationship, also the payment is not clear on the application form itself?
https://www.wa.gov.au/service/justice/civil-law/apply-death-certificateThe fees for applying for a death certificate:
$50 - Certified Death Certificate
$35 - Reduced Fee Death Certificate (+75 yrs. old)
$20 - Uncertified copy of a Death Registration (deaths prior to 1983)It seems where there's no consent (which I don't have) this is the info. likely to be on a DC...
If consent is not available, only confirmation of the following information will be provided:
Full name of deceased.
Place of death.
Date of death.
Registration number.
Date of birth/age.
Place of birth.
Gender.
Does anyone know if the place of birth would state where in Scotland e.g. Inverness-shire?
To date I haven't found any indication of where this William (Stewart) was born i.e. I don't know if he was born in Scotland or where?
I had also picked up a discrepancy on this William's death details of 9th Aug 1939 on the obit Ros posted Reply #5 ...
His age was given as 97 yrs & 4 mnths = April 1842
but is actual age would have been 95 yrs 8 mnths as he was born 02 Dec 1843
If I use a shoe-horn & assume whoever done the arithmetic had made an error & counted backwards from Dec - Aug that would equate to 4 mnths which might almost fit although I'm not convinced as there's still the age difference 97 v 95
Neale,
I still have to check out this marriage/death of wife prior to 1885 (2nd marriage)...
