Talking of light-bulb moments, I had mine when I read this post.
I knew there was something at the back of my mind going 'this is wrong' when I previously read this post, and Pat's reply clarified it for me.
And of course it's the fact that it's claimed the local Historical Society has got its records wrong. A mis-transcription of a name is possible (though I think most Societies insist on everything being double-checked before publication) but to say a whole record, produced locally, is wrong doesn't make sense.

This gets more frustrating by the minute
Western Australian Online Index
Marriage
Emma Pomeroy to Charles James Fox Registration district Perth
registration number 133 Registration year 1845.
This couple have 8 children registered between 1845 and 1862.
Can't see any births, marriages or deaths for Cornelius. I tried using first name only, then surname only. No results.
