WEDDING OLDFIELD— KIRK A lovely gown of white electric pleated georgette, with silver lace overflounce, was worn by Miss Esme Kirk at her wedding at St. Luke's Church, Shepardstown, to Mr. Athol Oldfield, of Cootamundra. A handembroidered silk tulle veil enveloped the gown, and was held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms and pearls. The bride was attended by her niece, Miss Ethel Kitto, and sister, Miss Julia Kirk, as bridesmaids, their frocks being of powder-blue crepe-de-chene, with gold lace trimmings, and they also wore powderblue boudoir caps, and carried bouquets of pink chrysanthemums and daphne. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Jack Lane as best man. and Mr. Milton Allatt was groomsman. The bride also carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and daphne with asparagus fern, and was given away by her father, Mr. Samuel Kirk. Rev. G. F. Pyke (St. Paul's, Adelong) officiated. Miss Ena Burke presided at the organ. The reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, her mother wearing a frock of black silk and hat to match, and holding a posy of pink roses and fern. At the wedding breakfast, the tables were beautifully decorated by a sister of the bride, Miss Gertie Kirk, wearing a frock of cinnamon marocain. The bride and bridegroom later left by car on their honeymoon, the bride wearing a blue georgette frock, with hat to match, and fur coat. Numerous presents were received, including cheques.

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.
