I am trying to find anyone descended from Harry Chandler and Norah Kathrine (or Katherine or Catherine) Chandler (nee Sheehan) or Katherine Hanorah Chandler, of Arncliffe in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She was born in Blackheath, NSW. Harry was identified as being a contractor living in Arncliffe, on his daughter's marriage certificate at St Judes (Church of England), Sydney, 13-July-1904, when she (Stella May Chandler, aged 23) married Robert James Green (aged 24), also of Arncliffe. The spelling of Norah Katherine's name on the certificate is definitely with a 'K', but on the NSW birth indexes (for the children) her name is simply 'Catherine'. (On another registry index it appears as Katherine Hanorah.) The children of Harry Chandler (and Norah Katherine or Catherine Sheehan) are: Myra Josephine L /Chandler/ b.1880 in Sydney Stella May Chandler b.1881, d.1940 in Sydney Ivy O /Chandler/ b.1883 in Sydney Ruby M /Chandler/ b.1884 in Sydney, and Harry William /Chandler/ b.1887 in Surry Hills, Sydney, d. 1957 in Sydney. Harry Chandler and Catherine Sheehan were married in Sydney on 16-Jul-1879. If you have this marriage certificate possibly #724/1879 then I would greatly appreciate a copy of the scanned image. The NSW indexes provide so little information that it is not possible to determine for sure whether a certificate is the correct one before purchasing it! If any of these people are your relatives, please help. Regards, Ian Green
