About Victoria, Australia, St. Peter's Eastern Hill, Marriages, 1848-1955

Historic St. Peter’s Anglican Church has graced the eastern hill above Melbourne since the late 1840s, predating Australia’s gold rush. The building has become a landmark, and the parish has developed a reputation for its choral music. This collection contains various marriage records from the parish. Records include certificates, registers, banns and notices of pending marriage, and parental consent forms for marriages that involved a minor. Forms vary, but they can provide a wide assortment of information, including bride, groom, birthplaces, ages, parents, residence, marriage date, witnesses, occupations, and even children from former marriages.
