Wednesday's Wedding: Arthur Ernest Warby & Ethel Florence Boyd

Ethel Florence Boyd who was born in 1890 at Rutherglen, Victoria was the daughter of William Leonard Boyd and his wife Elizabeth (nee Worldon). My connection to her is that she is my first cousin four times removed. In 1915 Ethel married Arthur Ernest Warby at St. Thomas' Church of England at Narrandera, New South Wales. Arthur Ernest Warby was the son of James Edward Warby and his wife Sarah (nee Lakeman). Tragically Arthur's mother Sarah and sister Amy were murdered at Billenbah in 1911. In 1919 Arthur and Ethel had a daughter Joan Ethel. Arthur Ernest Warby died in Sydney in 1921 and Ethel Florence Warby in Victoria in 1980.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked. Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one; they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives. After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too! This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more.

When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came a...
