Herbert Russell Midlane Coombe

You would have to ask an Transcription Agent to help you.  Of course there would be a fee.  With such an uncommon occurring surname I doubt it is wrong.  I always purchase a certificate or two along the way to validate my research anyway.

No I meant the placement of the words in the index. I have seen information from the certificates, put in the wrong fields. The word is right, but its in the wrong spot. If it was my tree, I would have bought some certificates already. I dont get the transcription service anyway. If your transcribing something, save some time and take a photo and send that to me instead. This paying for each word on a certificate, is silly.

Not everyone can afford to pay for a certified certificate.

Transcription Agents can only transcribe from the registers not photograph them. Fee around $20 and less if you request just a 'block' of information.

 I have used their services frequently in NSW and have always found them extremely helpful.  Thankfully most of my ancestors were in Victoria with a sprinkling in WA so certs readily available.  My lot were pretty boring anyway - no skeletons in the cupboard

A lot of mine were from Victoria. They have a good system in place. You buy it and download it.  Hubby is the one with the NSW and South Australia.

I have the CD's of BDM for SA along with the Biographical Index for South Australians.  Lots of passenger lists have recently been digitised on SA Records. If you ever need help just ask.  Of course you may have all you need   Agree Victoria's certs easy to access.  Queensland comes a good second though.

Looks certain that Herbert Russell Midlane COOMBE is the same man as Russell MIDLANE.

Witnesses Austin H. O'CONNOR, Jane DUNNE
Minister EDWARD JOSEPH LAIDE; REGISTERED 19 FEB 1917

He has transposed the surnames of his parents as his father was John Henry COOMBE and his mother Frances Agnes MIDLANE.  His father's occupation is correct.  He was born in Wilton, Wiltshire but had moved to Yorkshire by 1861 (I cannot find the family in 1841).

He had a younger brother Herbert b 1853 - possibly why he used the forename Herbert  in his early adult life.

I'm still wondering why they were married so late.  Bridget didn't die until the end of 1917.

Is there a shipping record for him?

Well that is some messed up shenanigans, right there. I had to read that three times and check my tree twice,
