The Canberra Times 16 Aug 1934 "WEDDING

READ-De SALIS

A trained gown of ivory ring velvet, with long puffed sleeves and finished at the neck with two woolly pom- poms, was worn by Miss Madalene Fane De Salis, eldest daughter of Sgt. and Mrs. Fane De Salis, of Parkes Street, Helensburgh, at her marriage with Mr. Charles Eric Read, son of the late Mr. Hugh Read and Mrs. Read, of " Oakhill," Sutton, which took place "at St. John the Baptist's Church, Canberra, on Wednesday, July 16. The Rev. Canon C. S. Robertson officiated.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore an embroidered tulle veil, which fell from a halo of orange, blossoms and pearls, and carried bouquet of pink carnations, golden roses and autumn leaves to complete the bridal array.

Frocks of lily-of-the-valley green, and shrimp ring velvet, with halo hats to match, were worn by the brides- maids, Misses Una Fane De Salis and Lily Read. They carried bouquets of pink sweet peas, violets and mignon-ette, Mr.. E, Mackintosh, was best man and Mr. Hugh Read was groomsman.

The reception was held at the Hotel Wellington, where Mrs. F. De Salis and Mrs. H. Read received the guests. The honeymoon was spent on a tour of the North and South -Coasts, N.S.W., the bride travelling in a grey costume with red hat and blouse and touches of redtrimming.

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.
