I'm looking for the marriage of Benjamin Beaver to Isabella Firmstone. Early 1900's in Sydney Australia. I've had no luck as yet in the search records?

Benjamin BEAVER married Isabell FIRMSTONE in 1901 in Annandale NSW (reg 573).

They had a son named Walter Ernest in 1907 in Waterloo NSW (reg 30478); he died in 1978 (reg 2390). Son Percy E died in Waterloo NSW in 1910 (reg 15810).

Likely death for Benjamin in Sydney in 1935, son of John & Janet (reg 5395) and Isabella in Bowral NSW in 1935, dau of Fredk Chas & Harriet (reg 3873) (matching birth for her in 1880 in Sydney, 2123).

Walter married Constance HORNE in 1930 in Redfern. Donald married Catherine Ruby BATES in Rozelle in 1937.

Thankyou Cherilyn,
That's a great help, thanks also for the births of their children, I noticed one was missing, the only girl, Daphne Beaver?
Any chance of a marriage look up for Lawrence Beaver and Una or Anne Turner?

.... in case it helps ..there's a 'Joy Murrin's Transcription Services' (on-line) ....she will 'search' any NSW BMD's for abt $15 each. (quite a saving!) ......Valerie

If Daphne Beaver was born after 1908, the records aren't available for searching.

From Google:

"From: "TheBeaver"

I am trying to find the Birth Date/Place of my g.grandfather, Benjamin
BEAVER
Information I do have...
Parents: John BEAVER & Janet BARTON
Possible brother: John BEAVER
Spouse: Isabella FIRMSTONE
Married 1901 Annandale,NSW
Died 1935

Now, I believe both he and his brother (and possible his wife) were born in
Scotland.
Don't know where to even start with Scotish records. All I can find there is
a site you need to pay just to see indexes :(

Cheers
Mike Beaver"

I am amazed that Benjamin/Alexander Beaver was born in Scotland, he is my Grandfather whom I never met, my Father died when I was young.
Now at long last I have a surname for Janet, Benjamin's Mother.
Benjamin and Isabella had a daughter, Daphne, she is missing on these records of the children?
Regards Barbara
