Hi Jenni & Leona,

Be very cautious about the AVRI. In many cases the places have been confused. For example, with Victorian marriages the place listed is the place of birth of the first person named - not the place of the event. Tasmania and Victoria had different laws about the recording of BDMs so it would not have been extremely unlikely, if not impossible for a marriage that occurred in Tas to be registered in Vic.

best wishes,

Jenny

Hi Jenni,

The only Ellen LYLE birth I found (on AVRI) was b. 1866.......I think this
one would have been too young to have married in 1877...
The marriage to Samuel ALEXANDER occurred in 1877 in Launceston......but was
registered in Victoria.

There were 5 ALEXANDER children (AVRI for Victoria only goes to 1888) up
until 1887, all born in Colac, Victoria.

Do you have the names of these children? There are 3 boys and 2 girls.

Best regards,
Leona in Toowoomba, Qld.
