Today's marriage involves Sylvester Gervase Donnelly who is my first cousin twice removed. Sylvester was born in 1897 the son of Edward Donnelly and his wife Margaret Annie nee Buckley. On the 11th April 1938 Sylvester Gervase Donnelly married Kathleen Mary McInerney at St Lawrence's Catholic Church in Coonabarabran, New South Wales.
A pretty, though quiet wedding was solemnised in St. Lawrence's Catholic Church, Coonabarabran, on 11th April, when Miss Kathleen McInerney, of New Mollyan, near Mendooran, was married to Mr Sylvester Donnelly, also of New Mollyan. The bride, frocked in a beautiful gown of magnolia satin, with an embroidered veil held in place by a coronet of orange blossoms, was given away by her brother-in-law Mr J.L. Opferkuch. She carried a gorgeous bouquet of pink and cream rosebuds, and was attended by her sister, Mrs E. Hanslow, as matron of honor. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr. Frank Ryan. At the conclusion of the breakfast, which was held at the Imperial Hotel, the couple left for Sydney, where the honeymoon is being spent, the bride travelling in a bottle green ensemble, with toque to match. Their future home will be in Mendooran.
