Not sure of the following marriage - as you can see the birth index in NSW
does not show the mother's maiden name. In Queensland and most other States
it does, but does give the registration district whereas in Queensland it
does not.
This is the only James GREER married to a Sophia in NSW and about the time
of the first birth in 1850:
Surname: GREER
Given Name/s: James
Sex: Male

Spouse sex: Female

Possible birth for Ada L GREER's husband Thomas BUCKLAND...same church,
location for birth of Ada's sister, Alice...But it can be so difficult with
the NSW indexes, so without certificates or other supporting information one
cannot be certain.

weight value of the information with other supporting evidence.
