WEDDING BELLS.
RYAN-RYAN.
A very pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Columba's Catholic Church on Wednesday by the Rev. Father Lynch, when Horace C. Ryan, of the Railway Department, Cootamundra, was married to Marie Gertrude (Maisie), eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Ryan, 'Palarna', Yass-road, Cootamundra.  The church was nicely decorated by the girl friends of the bride with roses and crysanthemums.  
The bride looked charming as she entered the church on the arm of her father, being gowned in a beautiful dress of ivory messaline duchess, handsomely trimmed with silk insertion, silver bugle fringe, torca net, and orange blossoms, finished off with the long fish train trimmed with lace, true lovers' knots, and trails of orange blossom.  She also wore the customary wreath and veil, and carried a bouquet of choice white flowers, maiden-hair fern, and autumn leaves, which, with a gold bangle, cross, and chain, were the gifts of the bridegroom.
Misses Emily Carberry and Annie Ryan (sister of the bride) acted as bridesmaids, and looked sweetly pretty.  Miss Carberry was attired in a lovely dress of cream crepe-de-chene over glace silk, prettily trimmed with silk insertion, &c.  Miss A. Ryan wore a very pretty dress of silk voile trimmed with silk insertion, cream satin and crystal buttons.  Both wore white felt hats trimmed with violets and ospreys, and carried beautiful bouquets of cactus dahlias and maiden-hair, which, together with the diamond and ruby brooches were the gifts of the bridegroom.  
Mr. H.P. Ryan, brother of the bridegroom, filled the role of best man, and Mr. C.P. Ryan, brother of the bride, that of groomsman. The bride's gift to the bridesgroom was a handsome dressing case. 
During the signing of the register Miss Dorrie Lawler sweetly sang 'Santa Maria'.  As the happy couple left the church, Mr. Jack Latham A.L.C.M., played the wedding march in his usual good style.  
After the ceremony a reception was held in the Town Hall by the bride's mother.  The Rev. Father Lynch presided, and spoke very highly of the good qualities of both the bride and bridegroom.  After the usual toasts had been honoured, the happy couple left for Sydney and the South Coast where the honeymoon is being spent.
Mrs. J. Ryan (mother of the bride) wore a handsome gown of black chiffon taffeta, with overdress of ninon, relieved with white and richly trimmed with Oriental all-over and medallions, black tagel hat, with white lancer plume.
Mrs. P.J. Ryan (mother of the bridegroom) wore a lovely dress of black silk resilda, relieved with white and prettily trimmed with silk insertion and buttons; smart black and white hat. 
The bride's travelling dress was a powder blue cloth costume, trimmed with blue satin Oriental all-over, cream lace and buttons, and also wore a black coney seal, muff and stole, gifts of the bridegroom; large black tagel hat, with white-plume.
The presents were numerous and costly, including a beautiful picture from the Children of Mary Solidality, of which the bride was a member, a handsome ivory prayer book in case from the Sisters of Mercy, and a handsome cheque from the bridegroom's grandmother.  The young couple received many messages of congratulation during the evening.

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. Those poor babies! One of the girls was found still clasping her doll that she had carried with her over the whole tragic journey. When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came a...

My First Fleet Connection - Mary Turner (aka Mary Wilkes/Wilks)

My 5th Great Grandmother Mary Turner (also known as Mary Wilks/Wilkes) is my earliest known and documented Australian relative.  She was tried at Worcester on  5th March 1785 and sentenced to seven years. Mary arrived on the ship Lady Penrhyn   in 1788.   It seems the 5th of March was not an auspicious trial date for Mary in 1785 or later in 1789!   On the 5th  March 1789 she was tried for stealing six cabbages from the garden of William Parr, she was found guilty and sentenced to 50 lashes.  Later in March 1789 she also was in trouble for her testimony in the trial of  Royal Marines accused of stealing from the government stores  (six of them were found guilty and executed) in which it was believed by some that she had perjured herself.  Mary was sent to Norfolk Island in 1790 on board the ship Sirius .  Apparently she stayed on Norfolk Island until 1793 when she returned to Port Jackson on board the ship Kitty .   Her de fact...
