Personal Notes:
Brisbane Courier 22 April 1914
Ducat-Laugher

A quiet but pretty wedding was celebrated in the Albert street Methodist Church on April 15, when Mr Irvine Macleay Ducat (second son of Mr. and Mrs W H Ducat Piggabeen Tweed River) was married to Miss Linda Under- wood Laugher (only daughter of Mr C U Laugher, Cleveland) The Rev B Bottomley officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dainty gown of embroidered voile over ?ntin, the bodice being softly draped and finished with a soft satin flower and draped belt. The skirt was arranged with tunic and slightly trained. She also wore a wreath and veil, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses cactus dahlias and bouvardias, which, with her necklet of pearls and aquamarines was a gift from the bridegroom. Misses Vera Dangerfield and Beulah Ducat (sister of the bridegroom) acted as brides maids. They wore pretty frocks of white voile inlet with guipure and Valen ciennes lace, and Juliet caps of net and lace finished with posies of pink buds. They carried bouquets of pink roses, bouvardins and chrysanthemums, which, with their gold bangles were gifts from the bridegroom. Mr C Winton Ducat acted as best man and Mr B Laugher as groomsman. Subsequently the guests were entertained at the Cafe Majestic Mrs C U Laugher wore a costume of light royal blue crepe de Chine the bodice showing vest and sleeves of cream lace and the skirt being draped and finished with lace tunic. She also wore a black satin hat with a blue mount. Mrs W H Ducat sen wore n black paillette costume, and a black hat with shaded brown mount. Mr and Mrs I Macleay Ducnt left later in the afternoon for Tambourine Mountain

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.
