WEDDING HICKSON— CARR A wedding of much local interest was celebrated in St. John's Church, Gundagai, on Wednesday, when Mr. Ronald Hickson, second son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Hickson, of Botany, took unto himself for better or for worse one of Gundagai's popular girls, Miss Bessie Carr, third eldest daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Carr, of First Avenue. The Church was prettily decorated for the occasion by friends of the bride, and outside the entrance was a huge wedding bell filled with con fetti. Long before tho bride appeared the Church was filled to its utmost capacity, including the relatives of the bride and bridegroom, the latter journeying from Sydney for the occasion, amongst whom were the groom's father and mother. The bride entered the Church on the arm of her father, and looked extremely pretty in a dress of white georgette and lace, ankle length, veil and train (loaned by Miss Vic. Russell, of Sydney), and carried a bouquet of white cactus dahlias and fragmentoes. Miss Ella Carr was bridesmaid, and wore pink georgette with bead trimmings, posy of apri cot cactus dahlias ana roses, tulle to match. Mr. George Treweek was best man. During the signing of the regieter Mr. Sid Yerberry, a friend of the bridegroom, sang most beautifully "For You Alone," and as the happy couple were leaving the Church the organist played the Wedding March. Rev. S. Davis tied the nuptial knot, and Mrs. Pettit presided at the organ. After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, when the guests, principally relatives, were received by Mrs. Carr, who wore a rich dress of black morocain. The bridegroom's mother also wore a similar dress. This being over, cake and wine were partaken of, and the usual congratulatory toasts honored, the Rev. Davis proposing the toast of the day. The happy couple left per motor for Wagga, thence Katoomba, the bride's going-away dress being navy crepe-de-chene, relieved with champagne, coat of navy morocain, hat to tone. The presents were numerous and costly, including a well-furnished

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.
