Address: the District of Holsworthy
The CRI(E&W) for marriages shows that Benjamin married either Mary Ann Hamley or Mary Wickett. The transcription of the CRI(E&W) for the birth of her daughter Elizabeth in 1862 on the FMP website says that her mother's maiden name was Wickett but where this information came from is not known as the maiden name of the mother was not included in the CRI until 1891. Although Mary was baptised in the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Holsworthy and free churches were licenced to perform marriages under the 1836 Marriage Act it is thought that she was probably married in the parish church of St Peter and St Paul
