looking for the marriage between Leonard WAIN & Alice Sarah VICKERY

[Westy11]

Leonard WAIN & Alice Sarah VICKERY are said to have married 11 Jun 1891 Queensland.

QLD BMD has an Alice Sarah VICKERY [1891 - C623 -Alice Sarah Vickery & Thomas Nixon marrying]

Family Trees on Anc***** seem to also be confused by this relationship. 

Some have Alice marrying both Thomas & Leonard on the same day with two sets of children. 

I cannnot locate Sarah's birth nor her death although there is a death on QLD BMD for a Alice Sarah NIXON in 1931. 

Trove have an article referencing Alice Sarah's death [as a WAIN] on 18 Dec 1931. Western Star and Roma Advertiser, Sat 17 Dec 1932 Page 2

Searching for childrens births in QLD it is obvious there were only two children born to Alice Sarah with Thomas NIXON as father.
Then, five children born to Alice Sarah with father named Leonard WAIN suggests a defacto relationship. These five children were actually recorded twice with both NIXON and WAIN surnames
as NIXON was still her legal surname.

Hi Westy

Alice Sarah's death indicates her parents were John VICKERY and Eliza WOODGATE.

There are several Qld births to a John VICKARY and Eliza WOODGATE(S) from 1871-1880 (though no Alice Sarah - there is a Sarah Ann b. 1871).

This (sadly) places the family in Rockhampton:

A John & Eliza VICARY arrived in Qld in 1865 aboard 'Golden City', aged 24 and 20 respectively.

In FreeBMD, John VICARY married Eliza WOODGATES in Crediton, Devon, in the first qtr of 1864 (5b 715).
