COLEMAN-MILLETT.
ATHERTON. January 4.
On December 18 the marriage of Ivan Frank Coleman, only son of Mr. and . Mrs, Coleman, "Chumbrumba,'' Atherton, and Rowena Maud Millett, only , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Millett, of "Pengorse:" Atherton, took place in the Methodist Church,Atherton. The ceremony was performed by Bev. Stephen Larkin, assisted by Rev. Geo. Nash, B.A. The accompanying service was fully choral.
Roses, arum lilies, stephanotis and fern, charrningly arranged, decorated the church, while a floral bell showered rose petals on the bride 'and groom as they passed under it. Miss Doss, assisted by Miss Crossman and Girl Comrades, was responsible for the decorations.
The bride was given away by her father and was attended by Miss Elsa Coleman (sister of the bridegroom) and her cousin, Miss Oenone Millett; as bridesmaids. Miss Dorothy Larkin, cousin, of the bridegroom, was a flower girl, and Miss Edna Millett the train bearer. The bride's two brothers, Mr. Bert Millett and Mr. Will Millett, supported the bridegroom as best man and groomsman.
THE FROCKING.
The bride looked lovely in a frock of white chantilly lace over satin beauté. It was finished with satin but-
tons and the cowl neckline was caught with a pearl brooch belonging to her great-grandmother. She wore a posy of orange blossom at her waist and her pretty embroidered veil was held in place by a halo of orange blossom and a pearl Juliet cap lent by her cousin, Mrs. Thomsett, of Brisbane.
She carried a bouquet of arum lilies, orchids, asters, carnations, and trails, of stephanotis presented to her by the Girl Comrades and made by Mrs. T. &. Kelly.
The bridesmaids wore white georpretty. Their bouquets were of blue buttons and girdles of blue flowers.
They wore blue flowers veiled with tulle in their hair, and- looked very prety. Their beouuets were of blue hydrangeas, golden dahlias and gerberas lied with blue ribbon.
The flower girl and the train-bearer were attired alike in long white georgette frocks over satin. The deep yokes were outlined with pink flowers. They wore pink flowers in their hair.
As the bride entered the church on her father's arm the congregation sang "O Perfect Love." After the
ceremony the Girl Comrades formed a guard of honor for the bride and groom and their retinue as they came down the aisle of the church. Mrs. J. Ford played the Wedding March, and during the signing of the register Mrs. F. Davis sang "My Prayer." The reception was held at "Pengorse," Cairns Road, Atherton, whens the bride's mother welcomed the guests in a smart frock of navy fern-leaf crepe worn with a navy hat and a spray of red rosea cn the shoulder. About 60 guests attended. The three-tiered square wedding cake was made and iced by the bride's mother. -
The bride's parents celebrated their silver wedding on the same occasion, and after the bride had cut the cake the bride of 25 years ago cut the cake which was made and beautifully decorated in silver by the bride of to-day. It was a charming ceremony.
The bride was a vice-director of the Girl Comrades and thc room was decorated in the Comrades' colors of blue, white and gold. The Ber. Geo. Nash carried out the duties of chairman to the satisfaction of everybody. Vocal solos were rendered by Mn. Davis, Rev. Nash and Mr. W."Millett.
The wedding party terminated at 11 o'clock with the einging of "Auld Lang Syne."
The bride's gift to the groom was a gold-mountain fountain pen, whi'o she received from him a set of crystal toilet ware. The groom's gift to the bridesmaids were brush and comb sets and to the flower girl and train-bearer trinket boxes.
The honeymoon will be a motor tour of northern beauty spots, and the happy couple were showered with confetti and good wishes as they said good-bye.
The bride's travelling frock was of «axe bine crepe backsheer and she wore a white hat and accessories. She carried a floral sunshade and floral saunter coat.
Among the many beautiful gifts received, waa a handsome ruby ring, the gift of the bride's parents.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
