Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 3 Sep 1929
Pre-Nuptial Felicitations A very pleasant evening was spent in the Church Women's Union Rooms at Tumut Plains on Tuesday last, when Miss Trixie Sturt, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sturt, Tu mit Plains, was given a knick-knack tea on the eve of her approaching marriage to Mr. E. Withers, of Tumut. Miss Sturt has been a resident of Tumut Plains all her life, and was secretary of the Parents ami Citi zens Association for some time, and has been secretary of the Tumut Plains Tennis Club for the past two years. In both these positions she displayed keen interest, energy, broad mindedness and perseverance, under dlifflcuities. It was, therefore, no surprise to see such a repre sentative gathering of Tumut Plains folk in fact, the rooms were rather uncomfortably crowded. Tlie gifts consisted of many varied and useful articles, and, in asking Miss Sturt to accept these, the Rev. F. W. Rettie, C. of E. Rector, Tu mut, (spokie in high terms of the interest the Sturt family had always taken in church work, and paid a special tribute to the work of Miss Sturt as a Sunday 'School teacher. On behalf of the gathering he wished her and her intended the greatest of happiness in their future life. Mr E Withers responded. Dancing, and cards were indulged in until midnight.

WEDDINGS WITHERS— STURT "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on," is the time-worn adage. But on Saturday the rain falling constantly after so long a spell or dry weather brought joy to the community also to a young couple who to All. Saints' Church did go to enter. upon the sea of matrimony. The bride, Miss Reginalde Fanny ('Trixie'), eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Sturt, Tumut Plains, looked charming, as, on the arm of her father, she entered the Church and approached the altar to take hymeneal vows with Mr. Ernest Withers, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Withers, of Bombowlee. Miss E. R. . Bridle, the organist, played the 'Bridal 'March'' as the guests arrived and . 'The Voice that breathed o'er Eden' as' the ; bride entered, and 'The Wedding March' at the close of the ceremony. The bride was gracefully attired in pale pink georgette, relieved with silver trim mings, wore a tulle veil and orange blossom 'bandeau and carried a bo guet of pink stocks, carnations and asparagus .fern. She was attended by her sister (Miss Bessie Sturt) as bridesmaid, frocked in mauve crepe de-chene with hat to tone, her boquet being of mauve and pink sweet peas' and fern. The robe of bride and bridesmaid: were designed by Mrs A. Kirkman. Mr Allan Manns attended the bridegroom. The ceremony was performed by the Rector, Rev. F. W. Kettle, at the conclu sion of which the bridal party re paired to the Woolpack Hotel where the bride's mother, attired in navy blue crepe-de-chene with fawn trim mings, and carrying a posy of vio lets and fern, received the guests. The tables were artistically decora ted by Miss Bell, and, before the newly-wed was a handsome three decker wedding cake (gift from the bride's brother, Jack) . The customary toasts were duly honored, the rev. chairman paying high tribute to the bride as an ardent church worker on the Plains and then as a charming bride. The happy young couple left by the afternoon train on their honeymoon tour. There was a fine array of presents . The bride's present was a travelling rug and the bridegroom gave his bride a travelling coat and the bridesmaid a gold wristlet watch.

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.
