Following are two snippets of information I've acquired. Still
ambivalent about the second one being mine, but here they are for all to
share: From The Queenslander, Saturday, June 30, 1888 WILLS-PEIRSON-- On the 27 June, at Holy Trinity Church, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, by the Rev. John SPOONER, M.A., of Sydney, George Frederick, third son of Richard Sydenham WILLS, of Seaton, Devon, England, to Mary Isabella May, eldest daughter of Joseph PEIRSON, of Brisbane. No Cards NSW Marriage Certificate: Marriage: 27 June 1871 Bridegroom: Family name: WILLS. Occupation: Shepherd Conjugal Status: Widowed Father's Name: John WILLS Bride: Family name: HUBBERT Occupation: - (blank) Father's Name: James DAVIS Celebrant: George Grimson, Officiating Minister Witnesses: William CALDWELL Registering 'Author'ity: W.F. Parker, District Registrar The age of the groom, William Hulme Wills seems to tally with the following christening on the IGI, but it's a long way from Suffolk to Newington, Surrey, which is now part of Greater London! William Hulme WILLS This William had siblings also christened in Newington and some in a nearby parish. Hope this helps someone. |
