Hi Jon,

I looked for this marriage on my database of Natal marriages and I do not
yet have it indexed. I have done most of 1891 and 1892, but not 1893, so it
is possible that the marriage occurred in 1893. Those film #'s are 1259176
and 1259177. I may have one or both of these films on reserve at my FHC, or
I may not have ordered them yet. I have been slowly working my way backward
from 1895, usually at the request of someone looking for a particular
marriage. If I don't have these films already, I will order them on
Wednesday when I go to the FHC, but it will take 3-5 weeks for them to
arrive. Please make a note to remind me again in 4 weeks to look for this
marriage.

In the meantime, I did a search for RYALL on my databases and fount a few
things. Here are the references:

LDS Microfilm #1295028
Pietermaritzburg Marriage Affidavits 1883-1888
Item 1
Entry #59
Husband: Francis THORNE
Wife: Jane Ryall ESSERY
Date: 7/9/1884

Entry #341

Transcribed from the index of the registers of the Pietermaritzburg
Presbyterian Churches:

BAPTISMS:

I also have some WEEDON marriages on my database of Natal marriages. If you
are interested in them, I will list them for you.

Regards,
Ellen Stanton
