Hello Trevor
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It does seem a lovely area to
visit although it wasn't in our immediate plans! A coincidence was that in
looking up "Kennedy" I found that it was near Hinchinbrook island, and I
live near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire (England) and there is a Hinchinbrook
House there!!
I would be so pleased to have the specific contact details that you
offered.
I do have specific details of the bride and groom; name , age and birthplace
and ,of course, the date of marriage in Charters Towers. The Australian
certificates were very detailed weren't they?
Eagerly awaiting your reply....
Hwyl
Margaret.

Hi Margaret,
Charters Towers is outside Townsville , a town north
of
Brisbane by about 1000 klms Townsville is very hot but a nice place
to
"visit " for a short time , and of course its full of Aussies. Are you
thinking of a visit. The Births deaths and marriages are well docunentrd
here and are available on line, but like everywhere else you must have
specific accurate info to do a valid search. If you like I can get the
specific contact details for you.
Regards
Trevor Gerard
Queensland Australia
