From on Sunday, 26 April, 2009

Hi Elizabeth I happened across your web site, with Charles PODGER, husband of Anna Mary BLAKE.
You show Charles as son of George Laurence PODGER & Elizabeth 'Betsy' Jane BARNETT.
I have this Charles, who is my wife Kim's gg grandfather, as the son of Charles James PODGER & Esther KIDWELL. I'm fairly certain this is correct, but my mind is always open. Do you have any evidence suggesting otherwise?
Regards, Steven Knowles

Answer - Hi, Do you have the marriage certificate of Charles PODGER, and Anna Mary BLAKE dated 1884 registration number 78. What parents names are on it?
I do not purchase certificates, rely on the Indexes, which everyone knows have holes. For example the two children of Esther and Charles
(as listed in Rootsweb)
Charles PODGER b: 11 MAY 1859 in Northcote, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Sarah Ann PODGER b: 1861 in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia
are not registered using Esther (I found these listings because I used the christian name and date of the child being wanted, and Po* for surname
PODGER Charles Married KELDWELL Ester in 1857 registered #2602
and
POGHER Charles Born to Charles and Hester KIDDELL at NCOTE registered 1859 #5584
and
PODGER Sarah Ann Born to Charles and Eliza KIDWELL at COLL registered 1861 #18256
