Kate, the third daughter, was born at Darlinghurst on 01 Aug 1859. At St Andrew's Cathedral on 08 ApI 1879 with consent from her father, 19 year old Kate wed Thomas Joseph HITCHMAN, a salesman of Enfield, born at Wheatley in Oxfordshire on 18 ApI 1855, son of Lydia and Robert, Chief Constable and
Superintendent of Fire Services. A Hitchman ancestor, Robert c.1603, was Attorney General to King James I of England (who was also James VI of Scotland). Family legend says that Thomas proposed to Kate in a row boat off Hunters Hill - and threatened to tip the boat over if she said no! Probably at that time the Joneses were living at Duke Street, Balmain, a well-regarded part of town. Thomas was educated at King Edward VI School in Norwich. In 1872 he was a department manager for Chamberlain & Sons then came to Sydney in 1876 when he was appointed department manager for Prince, Ogg & Co and later was managing director for Lark, Sons & Co. Ltd. He was well-known in Sydney'S business world and had a notable career, becoming Chairman of Directors of W. Gardiner & Co, general merchants of 72 York Street, Sydney. He was trustee of Guardian Insurance Office, Merchants & Traders Association, was past president of the Employers' Federation of NSW and the Chamber of Manufactures. In addition Tom was Chairman of the Warehouseman's Association of NSW. Kate and Thomas' first child Marion Ellen (Mimi) was born in 1880. Aged 22, on 11 Mar 1902 at St John's CofE, Gordon she wed Alexander James GmSON born 18 Dec 1876 at Hanover Square in London. Educated at Dulwich College he left school |
