MARRIAGES.

On the 4th instant, at Trinity Church, Berrima, by the Rev. S.S. Hassall, Michael, third son of Mr. John Green, of Mittagong, to Mary Anne, eldest daughter of Mr. William Bell, innkeeper, of Eling Forest, near Berrima.


Unfortunately the marriage did not last very long and the two went their separate ways.  Mary Ann moved with her parents and siblings to the Gundagai area of New South Wales and went on to have a long term relationship and at least nine children with Charles Williams.  While Michael Green apparently ended up in Queensland and died there in about 1913.

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...
