Inclosed is some additional evidence of the marriage of Mrs Ann Wood -
It is respectfully submitted that the evidence to sustain her claim is amply sufficient -
There is no difficulty suggested by the Department of Capt as to the time of her marriage —
The act requires it to be before 1894. This is proved by her family record of the birth of her oldest child, now in the possession of the Department, it is also proved by the disposition of her Mrs. Woolly enclosures. Also by the evidence I think of two witnesses now on the files of the Department.
The record of Mr. Ayers who married them can not be found. It could hardly be expected that at this distance of time the precise day should be remembered.
It is submitted, that if the applicant proves the marriage prior to 1794 it is a sufficient compliance with the act, and as much as can possibly be done where no record exists of the precise date -
The attention of the Department is directed to her claim at its earliest convenience
Truly yours &
