Lena Basterfield married Harry Bramley in Victoria in 1908.

Harry was born in England but I would have to use the Electoral Roles to find which of the myriad ones he is.

A marriage cert would do....

No problems.

It doesn't take long to find the information with the Digger Indexes. If only the British BMD was indexed the same!

all info on that can be proven
