Dear Sir,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Referring to your letter of the 15th ultimo asking to be supplied with a certified copy of the registration of the marriage of William Green and Mary Ann Green (the parents of your great grandfather William Thomas Green), I have to say that no record can be found of the registration of that marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only entry found which could possibly be considered as relating to the parties about which you are inquiring is a marriage celebrated in the 14th November, 1836 according to the rites of the Presbyterian Church, between William Green of Sydney, Bachelor, Labourer and Mary Shuttleworth, Spinster. However, this entry may possibly be ruled out on the score that in the record of the baptism of your great grandfather, William Thomas Green, his father is described as “Ginger Beer Brewer” and the baptism was performed by a Church of England minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you know the date and place of death of William or Mary Ann Green and such death took place in New South Wales, the registration of such death(s) could be perused as it (they) may show the place and approximate year of marriage and also the birthplace of the party concerned. It is quite probable of course, that the marriage was not celebrated in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Receipt for 12\/4 is enclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yours faithfully,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W.H. Thom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
