New Index - Presbyterian Marriages

Certificate Transcriptions

This index is compiled from three booklets of transcriptions, originally compiled by Liz Rowe and Margaret Le May in the year 2000 and donated to WAGS Library. The transcriptions cover the period January 1898 to April 1910, and are taken from original marriage certificates which were found in St. Columba's Presbyterian Church, Keane Street, Peppermint Grove, Perth, Western Australia.

St. Columba's Church dates back to 1896. There are 151 entries in the index with 127 male and 127 female surnames.
