Hi Rob, I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm not thinking well this morning.
I see 2 pages but it looks like 3 certificates. The columns for the marriage spans 2 pages. But it's 3 marriages, not 2 like you said. So I'm confused (or lack of sleep). Records 16 and 17 show 2 men who are of Portuguese descent. The records are from 1866. At that time period, women didn't have surnames. The mothers of the groom have a butchered 2nd given name. It may be Rosa (the leading R in Portuguese words is pronounced as an "h" so Rosa sounds like ho-sah). But there's extra stuff there. Hosana (or Rosana) is not a Portuguese name. I can't think of what it could be at the moment. Maybe someone else can come up with something. "SZ" is not a letter combination in Portuguese. So he's Tomas (in today's modern Portuguese). You will find all kinds of variations and butcherizations in your search. I don't know what you mean by the same place would be suspicious. You provided the marriage register for the District of Gulong (?) in the Colony of Victoria, so people being from Gulong or Victoria getting married in Gulong or Victoria would be expected. Hope someone can come up with the 2nd name for the moms.
