Hi Ngaire,
I have a question about an entry you have listed above:
Vera Pearl Prier
- married Philip Richard HART in 1920
I have both Vera and Philip being born in 1906, which would have made them both 14 years old - possible but unlikely. As their first child was born in 1931, is it possible that their marriage was actually in 1930?

Hi Ngaire,
The listing "Albert Henry Prier
- married Elizabeth FARNO in 1926 " has a spelling error. The bride was Forno - an Italian family from Belforte in northern Italy. Elizabeth Forno's brother Daniel also married into the Prier family marrying Gladis Prier sister of Albert Prier.
