LIST 23 - MARRIAGES - ST PETERS RICHMOND
The first marriage was performed at St Peters on the 9th January 1815 by the Rev Henry Fulton. Up until the end of 1820 there were 41
marriages performed at St Peters.
The information recorded for each marriage is as follows:
date groom family name Christian name year and ship of arrival civil status at time of marriage age at marriage bride family name Christian name year and ship of arrival civil status at time of marriage age at marriage reference numberThe marriages are listed in chronological order.
The Reverend Henry Fulton was the first rector of St Peters, he was
quite a busy man being the rector at Christ Church Castlereagh
during this period as well.
It should be pointed out that in the original register the only
information recorded was; date, family name and Christian name of both bride and groom. Information in the register but not included
here includes; the officiating minister, names of the witnesses to
the marriage and who gave consent to the marriage (the father to
colonial born brides and the governor to convicts). Interested
readers are urged to consult the originals.
As explained above the age at marriage is a derived figure.
The reference number would direct the reader to the entry in the original parish register. In this decade the numbers run from 001to
041.
To locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical search on
the name would be made on Lists 15 or 16 using code "SPR" from which
the date of marriage would be retrieved, secondly using the
appropriate date, the marriage would then be located on this list.
