Historical Details
Ministers of religion were authorised under Tasmanian legislation to register marriages. Blank books of certificates were issued to the churches, who then needed to forward the certificate to the office of the Registrar-General.Related certificate stubs are archived in ASAC C2B large box 13 - ASJ2024.94
