Thomas - Occupation: Livery Stable Keeper, Residence: 25 Little Burke Street East, Melbourne
Ann - Occupation: House Keeper, Residence: Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
Witnesses: Thomas Masky and Louisa Marks
Minister: Rev Nathaniel Kinsman, Victorian Free Church

Annie was aged 33 & Thomas 38. They were together some time before marriage. Married at the Victorian Free Church in Gertrude St. Fitzroy.

Kinsman was “a Fitzroy second-hand dealer who had a lucrative business in ‘quick and cheap weddings.’ " Between 1858 and 1862 services were held in a schoolroom "near the Collingwood baths". A layman, Nathaniel Kinsman, who was a Fitzroy second-hand furniture dealer, conducted these. When the Church of England decided to appoint an ordained minister to East Collingwood in 1862, Kinsman and his congregation objected to the appointment. They seceded and erected this church nearby. According to census reports there were 111 members of this new congregation in 1871 and about half that number ten years later. Kinsman's church became part of a denomination known as the Victorian Free Church of England and Ireland or The Episcopal Free Church. This church lasted for 20 years until 1907. In 1895 it was known locally as the Victorian Free Church and in 1902 as the Victorian Free Church Mission Hall.
