Wednesday's Wedding: Beer/Twemlow and three more

Today's wedding involves my 1st cousin four times removed Olive Marion Twemlow.  Olive was the daughter of Francis (Frank) Twemlow and his wife Tamar nee Guymer (see here for more information on this family).  While Arthur was the son of Benjamin and his wife Rhoda nee Jones.  Olive was Arthur's third wife; his first wife who he married in 1892, Emeline Elizabeth Beer nee Blackshaw died in 1903 and his second wife who he married in 1907, Martha Jane Beer nee Burgess died in 1923.  He was to marry one more time after Olive's death in 1943 when he married Marjory J Sutton.  Arthur Benjamin Beer died in 1945 at Goulburn.

MR. A.B. BEER
There passed away in St. John of God Hospital yesterday afternoon, at the age of 76, a well known identity of Goulburn in the person of Mr. Arthur Benjamin Beer, husband of Mrs. Marjory Beer, of 60 Lagoon Street.
Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Beer, Mr. Beer was born and spent all his life in this city.
A printer by trade, Mr. Beer was employed for 31 years by 'The Goulburn Herald.' He established his own job-printing business in Lagoon Street.
His principal interest apart from his trade was in music.  He could play several instruments and was bandmaster at one time of the Werriwa 3rd Infantry Band.  He had the gift of mechanical ingenuity, which he applied not only to his printing machinery, but to his music.  He devised a double flute which could easily have been exploited and made useful.  He was organist at the North Goulburn Methodist Church for a number of years.
Deceased is survived by one daughter, Myra (Mrs. W. Godfrey) of Maroubra, Sydney; two sons, Arthur and Harry; two sisters, Eva (Mrs. E. Latty, of Parramatta), and Fanny (Mrs. F. Thompson, of Victoria); and two brothers, Alfred and the deceased's twin, William, of Goulburn.  He also leaves eleven grand-children and twelve great grand-children.
The service, which was conducted by the Rev. W.J. Harper, was held at Craig's Chapel at 2 o'clock this afternoon, whence the funeral left for the Methodist portion pf the general cemetery.

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...

Time for a happy dance! Well kind of .....poor Catherine!

Brickwall knocked down at last!  Catherine Rhall was murdered by her partner James Baker Worldon on the 14th February 1855 at Beechworth.  The Trove articles do involve my 4th Great Grandparents James Baker Worldon and Catherine Rhall!  I guess the family tree book will need updating now ;) I looked up the following record from the Public Record of Victoria and bingo the details match my ancestors records.  Catherine Rhall's fate is now known at last, she was murdered by her partner and he was only sentenced to two years imprisonment for it and by the look of it was released early in 1856!  I also found out he used the alias Milbank, which will give me new avenues for future research.
