LETHBRIDGE v. LETHBRIDGE.

John Copland King Lethbridge, a drover, ap- plied for a divorce from Alice Agnes Lethbridge, formerly Fulford, on the ground of her adultery with Walter Black, who was joined as co-respon- dent. Petitioner said he married the respondent in December, 1890, at Charters Towers, Queens- land, according to the Presbyterian rites. She was between 14 and 15 years of age when he mar- ried her. He first met her in September, 1890, at Oak Park, a station kept by bis brother-in-law, and he there became intimate with her. She looked more like 17 than 14 at the time. A fort- night before the marriage he saw her father, and had a conversation with him. He subsequently received a letter from him, and he went to Lynd hurst, where the girl lived. They then went to Charters Towers, where they were married. At the railway station after the ceremony, he told his wife it 'was hard lines they had to part so soon." Before the marriage it was arranged they should part for three years, as they were both too young to live together. The respondent came to Sydney with her sister, and a child was born in March, 1891. He was subsequently informed by her that he was not the father of the child. ln June last he heard something, and went to a house in Oxford-street, where he saw a nurse and the respondent. He entered the respondent's room, and saw a baby, which the respondent said was Walter Black's. She also stated that she had been to Queensland with Black, who was keeping her. Before meet ing Black she said she had been living with her people, and had led a proper life. His Honor reserved judgment.

A fortnight before the marriage he saw her father, and had a conversation with him. He subsequently received a letter from him, and he went to Lyndhurst, where the girl lived.

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.
