  • South Australian information wanted, if possible.

    I have a Thomas Thayer of Norwood ,South Australia,who married Maria Puddy (formerly Bennet) whose first husband Henry died 30 Dec 1854 at Magill, South Australia. The marriage obviously was after Dec 1854.

    I'd like to find their marriage and death if at all possible.

    Is there any reference to them in the NLA newspaper archive? It's not a common name, so you shouldn't get an unmanageable number of hits?

    I haven't looked to remind myself what's there for S Australia.

        There isn't much online for SA. There are some SA records in the new Aus BMD database on Ancestry, but I can't find your Thayers. Unfortunately Ancestry doesn't specify exactly which years are covered, and the SA records in the index contain very little information.

          There are some hits in "South Australian Register" for the combination of Thayer & Norwood in 1862, but the papers are being digitised, so the full info's not available for a couple more weeks (it says).

              There's an SA marriage database that goes up to 1855, but it only contains Maria's first marriage:

                This looks promising - a Maria Thayer died in SA in 1893:
