Frederick Faulkner (George and Maria's son) married Mary Elizabeth McCarthy in a Church of England ceremony at Christ Church Cootamundra in 1882. He would have been about 34. She was a widow, from Temora. Her age isn't stated.
Although Frederick gave his occupation as storekeeper, like his brother George he could not write. When it came to signing the certificate he made his mark, a cross, above which are the initials S.B.H. (signed by him?). Mary signed her name.
Both witnesses were from the McCarthy side of the family - Charles Brisbane McCarthy and Ruth Neal McCarthy. Like Mary, they signed their names.
The marriage certificate has a lot of blanks - Frederick and Mary's places of birth, their fathers' names, mothers' names and maiden surnames and fathers' occupations.
