Personal Notes:

Townsville Daily Bulletin 14 June 1940
STEEN— WALSH . At the Sacred Heart Cathedral on the 10th June, Father VandeWeur offi ciating, Arthur William, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Steen, of Bowen, and Grace Mary, youngest daughter of Mrs. Walsh and the late Mr. B. J. Walsh were married. The pretty bride entered the Cathedral to the strains of the Wedding March played by Mr. Vic Foley, on the arm of her brother, Mr. Joe Walsh, who gave her away. Her wedding gown was Ivory satin, featuring uplift bodice with a flattering high neck line, long puff sleeves with point extending over the wrist. Tiny buttons trimmed the back bodice to the waist line where the long flared skirt was pleated, forming a long train. Her beautiful veil was a lengthy cut tulle one with a small cut tulle veil falUng from a stiffened lace mount. The bride chose a shower bouquet of roses and lilies, with trails of tiny roses and fern. Her cousin, Miss Rose Rolfe, who attend ed as bridesmaid, was (rocked in azure satin taffeta with a tight attlng bodice, square neckline and short puff sleeves, down the centre and extended waist line, tiny buttons were used as a trimming for the bodice. The floor length skirt was fully flared and fin ished at the back with a large bustle. She added an elbow length tulle veil with a topknot of orchids. Her bou quet was a basket of gerberaa. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Fred Skau as best man. Mr. Joe Rooney sang 'Ave Marie' while the register was being signed. The recep tion was held at the Roof Garden Cafe, and the three tier cake was made by a friend of the family (Mrs. A. Carter). Mrs. Walsh received the guest tracked In navy blue with ac cessories to match, she also carried a bouquet of red roses. She -was assisted by the bridegroom's mather, who waa frocked In navy blue with accessories to match. Mr. and Mrs. A. Stein left later for Cairns. The bride for trav elling chose a navy tailored suit with smart black hat and accessories to match.

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.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
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.
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.
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.
