Member Since: December 2005 Posts: 49 Send Message	Hello Cherilyn Thank you for your reply - much appreciated. You were very quick with all of that information - do you have a connection to the family at all.....? You note the marriage took place after the birth of Lillian - I was hoping to find more on this event.... Barb

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 3,557 Send Message	The birth or the marriage? You can't get the birth cert but you can get the marriage one, though Qld certificates are a bit pricey. As mentioned, info from Qld BDM index online, NLA Trove, NAA Recordsearch and also just Google. :D Good luck, do let us know if you decide to get the marriage certificate.

Member Since: December 2005 Posts: 49 Send Message	I believe the people concerned (I am attempting to do them a favour) do have the Marriage cert. but have always wondered re father of Lillian, her having been born prior to the marriage. I have a copy of the Birth and parents are shown as LOVAAS, Thorstein Emil and OLIVE, Agnes Ada but there is some query in their minds due to the number of years between birth and marriage.. I have checked all the same sources that you mention, so I guess it will remain a closed book. Thanks again. Barb
