Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 4,065 Send Message	The NSW online records have naturalisations for 2 Christen CHRISTENSENs of Denmark. One in 1895 (says see also Charles) and one in 1899. You can order a copy, may give further details. Was he a policeman? Register of Police: [service number] 8829 CHRISTENSEN Christen [born] 1883 New South Wales [appointed] 28 Apr 1908 3043 [8/3253] Alice WARRINGTON's deceased estate record is also there. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/indexes-online Their 1905 marriage cert should provide full details of parents, birthplace etc. You can download an uncertified image for A$20. Let me know if you need the link.

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 4,065 Send Message	My pleasure :-) it would be worth checking out the death notices at Ryerson to get children's names, if you don't have them: CHRISTENSEN Harold Death notice 17JUN1965 Death at McMahon's Point Sydney Morning Herald 19JUN1965 CHRISTENSEN Charles Alan Death notice 29NOV1984 Death [aged] 76 late of Point Clare, formerly of Griffith Sydney Morning Herald 01DEC1984 CHRISTENSEN Alice Marie Death notice 27FEB1971 Death late of North Sydney Sydney Morning Herald 04MAR1971

	Cherilyn Again, many thanks. On PROVIC I saw a naturalization for Charles Christen Christensen which seems to fit. He was not a policeman but a carter in McMahons Point, Sydney. I have info for the children and you are correct in their names. Would you send me the link to download an uncertified image for Alice and Charles' marriage in 1905, Victoria please. There are many questions. I assume Charles landed in Melbourne, Alice born I believe in Kogarah, Sydney. Why does she get married in Fitzroy, Melbourne? They were both around 40 or more when they had their first child in 1906. Very late in life for those times, which makes me wonder if Alice was married before? Questions, questions Many thanks again and I welcome any more info you may stumble across! Cheers Beverley :-)
