Note 2: Reg No 12269/1892 - Robert and Sarah A Singleton Argus 5 Oct 1892 POCKLEY.—September 20th, at his residence, Lorne, Gordon, after a few hours' illness, Robert Francis Pockley, aged 69 years. ***** Sydney Morning Herald 3 Oct 1892 Pockley, Robert Francis (?–1892) Regret in the city was expressed at the announcement of the sudden demise of Captain R F. [Robert Francis] Pockley. Captain Pockley for more than half a century has been identified with the shipping history of Australia. An old Australian geography (1846) was shown in the Merchants' Exchange, in which his opinion is quoted as to the respective merits of Boydtown and the opposite side of Twofold Bay for the site of the harbour proper. In the very early days as a boy he sailed in these seas with his father, who commanded a whaling vessel, and having qualified himself for the position of shipmaster, he came out to Sydney finally in 1841 to settle here. Captain Pockley hold the position of superintendent of pilots and lights for the colony at the time of the Donaldson Ministry, and at the date of the wreck of the Dunbar he was harbourmaster here, and went down to the scene of that memorable disaster in a whaleboat the night it occurred. In 1854 Captain Pockley married the youngest daughter of the late Major Antill, who came out to the colony with Governor Macquarie, to whom he was ADC. Dr Pockley, of St Leonard's, is a son, and one of 12 of a family, who, with the widow, are called upon to mourn their loss. Captain Pockley was Lloyd's surveyor and representative in New South Wales up to the time of his death, and held that position for 20 years.

Note 3: Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950 about Harry Richardson Pockley Name: Harry Richardson Pockley Spouse Name: Rosalie Gertrude Parry-okeden Marriage Date: 12 Nov 1902 Marriage Place: Queensland Registration Place: Queensland Registration Year: 1902 Registration number: 000846 Page Number: 20960 The Queenslander 22 Nov 1902 WEDDINGS. Pockley-Parry-Okeden. One of the prettiest weddings seen in Brisbane for some time was celebrated at St. Andrew's Church, Lutwyche, on the afternoon of Wednesday week. The bride, was Miss Rosalie Gertrude Parry-Okeden, elder daughter of Mr. W. E. Parry-Okeden, of Delamore, Kedron, Queensland Commissioner of Police. The bridegroom, Mr. Harry Richardson Pockley, is the second son of the late Captain R. F. Pockley, of Lorne, Sydney. The ceremony took place at the little church (St. Andrew's) at Lutwyche, the offi- ciating clergymen being Canon Osborne and the Rev. T. Jones, the latter having performed the same ceremony many years before for the bride's father and mother. By half-past l o'clock the tiny church was filled to the doors with invited guests, and many had to remain outside during the ceremony. The church was prettily decorated with palms and roses, an arch of palms spanning the entire length of the aisle. The communion rails and the altar were garlanded with white roses and foliage. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore an exquisite bridal robe of rich cream satin duchesse. The low bodice was made in pouched -fashion, and tucked horizontally, with vandyked cordings and silk beadings. A lovely berthe of silk Honiton lace formed deep points front and back, and fell in double points over the sleeves, which were com posed entirely of silk beadings, caught together with silk herring-bone stitchings. The sleeves were finished at the elbow with long sweeping frills of ribbon-edged chiffon. A high vest and collar of silk beadings was worn with the bodice for the oc- casion. The skirt was also ornamented with van dyke tuckings, and flowered with chiffon. A long plain Court train fell from the shoulders, and trails of orange blossoms and white jessamine ornamented both skirt and corsage. A coronet of orange blossoms (some of which had been worn by her mother as a bride) and a beautiful veil of embroidered tulle completed a very lovely toilette, in which the fair young bride looked very pretty, and very happy. Her lovely shower bouquet was composed of niphetos roses, caladium leaves, and choice foli age, with satin streamers. Her only ornament was a beautiful pearl pendant, the gift of the bridegroom. The four bridesmaids were Miss Hilda Parry- Okeden (chief), Miss Muriel Pockley (sister of the bridegroom), and the Misses Constance and Violet Parry-Okeden, the sisters of the bride. All were dressed alike in pretty girlish costumes of tucked Swiss muslin, made Russian blouse fashion, over tucked yokes of point d'esprit net and Paris coloured guipure. The two elder bridesmaids wore hats of blue and ecru satin straw, with balloon crowns. The brims lined with pale-blue tulle, and the hats swathed with cream lace, and large clusters of pink roses. The other two bridesmaids wore, similar hats of burnt straw, lined with pink, and wreathed with cream lace and baby roses. All carried handsome bouquets to match their cos- tumes, and wore heart brooches set with pearls and turquoise, the gifts of the bridegroom. Mr. R. H. Antill (cousin of the bridegroom) acted as best man, and Mr. Uvedale Parry-Okeden as grooms- man. Mrs. W. E. Parry-Okeden (mother of the bride) wore a handsome gown of black silk over a glace silk slip, with reliefs of white. Her becoming toque was of black sequined lace with a black plume and clusters of pink roses. Mrs. McCord (aunt of the bride) wore a gown of rich black silk, flounced with chiffon, the bodice re lieved with a vest of white lisse ; black toque, re lieved with heliotrope. Mrs. McKenny (aunt of the bride) wore a gown of black Organdy muslin, patterned in heliotrope, and a black toque re- lieved with the same colour. After the ceremony the guests drove to Delamore, the beautiful resi dence of the bride's parents, the vehicles forming a procession nearly a quarter of a mile in length. At the entrance to the drive the children of the neighbourhood had congregated and lined up on either side of the gate, waving small flags and giving hearty cheers most impartially for the occupants of each vehicle as it arrived. Mr. and. Mrs. Parry-Okaden received their guests in the picturesque piazza, which is so striking a feature of the house. Thence all passed on into the large drawing-room to offer their hearty congratulations to the young couple. There was no formal dejeuner, and no speeches were made, an arrange- ment which added greatly to the festive nature of the gathering. The catering was excellently carried out by Eschenhagen, small tete-a-tete and quartette tables being placed all round the house on the spacious verandas, while the Police Band discoursed capital music on the lawn. In the dining-room every inch of available space was de voted to the display of the magnificent wedding presents, which were worthy of the admiration they received. On a white draped table, deco rated with lovely white flowers and delicate ferns and grass, stood a splendid bride cake four tiers in height (the handiwork of Miss Donkin), which was an artistic chef d'oeuvre. Its decorations com prised a number of tiny wedding bells hanging by baby ribbons, tiny slippers, horseshoes, doves, and various other emblematic devices, which later on were distributed amongst the guests as mementoes. The summit was crowned with a slender silver vase, bearing a trophy of white (real) flowers and delicate grasses. Real flowers and ferns also formed a circle round the base of the cake, and the novel arrangement was most artistic and pleasing to the eye. The presents were innumerable, and comprised many very beautiful and valuable gifts from old friends, conspicuous amongst them being the hand some tea and coffee service, presented by the police officers and the officials in the Commissioner's office, which was accompanied by an ad-l dress, in book form, signed by givers, and bound in the police colours—navy-blue and red. If was a matter for regret that a large number of very valuable presents front relatives and friends in Sydney will have to await the bride in that city, owing to the fact that heavy Customs duty would have had to be paid here. On leaving for the honeymoon (which will be spent in Sydney and Melbourne), Mrs. Pockley wore a pretty travelling dress of gray canvas voile, cross-tucked, and frilled with accordion pleatings, edged with black and white baby ribbon. The bodice had an em bossed collar of twine-coloured guipure, and a full vest of white chiffon. The hat worn with this costume was of pink satin straw, swathed in cream lace, and ornamented with clusters of banksia roses and a knot of black velvet. The departure of the bride and bridegroom was a merry one, relatives and friends pelting them unmercifully with rose leaves, confetti, and slippers, a well directed shot landing a satin slipper in the -bride's lap as she drove off amidst the hearty and vociferous cheering of those present. Mr. and Mrs. Pockley remained standing in the carriage waving their adieus as long as the house remained in sight, and shortly afterwards the guests, who numbered over 200, left for town. The costumes worn by the bride and bridesmaids, by Mrs. Parry-Okeden, and Mrs. McCord, were de- signed and made by Messrs. Finney, Isles and Co. ********** Queensland Figaro 13 Nov 1902 " It was such a 'happy' wedding," was a description given of the Pockley-Parry-Okeden marriage which took place at the Lutwyche (St. Andrew's) Church on Wednesday, and the description was a very apt one. Miss Rosalie Okeden comes of one of the most popular families in Brisbane, and this, the first wedding, was the occasion of a great gathering of old friends. Mr. Harry Richardson Pockley, the bridegroom (son of tbe late Captain R. F. Pockley, of Lorne, N.S.W.),is connected with well-known Brisbane people, viz. the Walshes, of ."La Chute," and amongst his relatives present were Miss Leila Wade-Brown, of Ban-Ban Station, Mrs. Guilford Davidson, of Sandgate, Captain and Mrs. Antill, and Mr. Harry Antill, and the Misses Pockley, Sydney. St. Andrews' is quite a country church, and the scene was a. pretty one as the guests-there were over two hundred-drove up through the trees to the door. Such a crowd of well-groomed, top-hatted, frock coated-men, and summery toiletted women, and an outer frieze of small children of the neighbourhood ready with rose leaves and for a glimpse of the pretty bride, who wore a shimmering white satin dress, with full court train, and trimming of honiton lace, and accordeon plaited chiffon ; Miss Okeden is a very pretty girl, and the embroidered tulle veil and coronet of orange blossoms suited her to perfection. The four bridesmaids, Miss Hilda Okeden, Miss Muriel Okeden, and the Misses Constance and Violet Okeden were very charmingly frocked. Mr. R. H. Antill acted as best man, and Mr. Unedale Parry-Okeden as groomsman. Crowds of small children assembled at the gates of " Dela more," the Parry-Okeden residence, and cheered the bridal party and the many cab loads of guests as they drove up the avenue. The Police Band stationed in the gardens played most delightfully. After congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Pockley, who received in the Pazza, under a wedding bell of red and white roses, the guests passed on to the verandah, where delicious refreshments were arranged, or inspected the magnificent wedding cake (made by Miss Fanny Donkin) which stood on a table bedecked with white carnations and roses. In the same room were the wedding presents-a bewildering and handsome array-a little bird tells me that a large number from Sydney friends were delayed at the customs, and could only arrive later on ; moreover, every avail able space was filled with them as it were, and an array of cheques decorated the marble mantle shelf. The handsome tea and coffee service and salver presented by the police officers and officers in the Commissioner's office, was accompanied by an address in book form, bound in the police colours, and containing the signatures of the givers, and a clever little poem ornamented the front page, which was dedicated to the bride, and composed by Inspector Urquahart, who was present with his smart-looking little wife. Amongst the guests the two this-year's brides-Mrs. A. D. Walsh and Mrs. Antill (who was frocked in white and touches of black)-looked especially charming. Mrs. C. Warren wore a wisteria muslin, which suited her; with her was Miss Blspeth M'Connell, in pink and blue French muslin ; Miss Chauvel, in £cru grass lawn, an*I Miss E. Mills ; Mr. and Mrs. Peter JVlaegregor, Mr. R. Newton, his son and two daughters; Mr. Moore, Colinton ; Miss Moore, Miss Mollie Butler, of Kilcoy, and iier brother ; pretty Miss Amy Taylor in white ; Miss Higgiiison, looking very bright, was most daintily gowned in dresden china shades of pink and blue; Mrs. Douglas wore a handsome grey costume; Mrs. J. P. Mackenzie was accompanied by her son, Kenneth Mackenzie, and her stylish looking daughter, who wore white ; Mrs. George Thorn, of Ipswich, w^s^present, also Mesdames Coventry, Bbusfieid, Hudson, Philp, Sir Arm Rutledge, the handsome Miss Graham and their fair-haired cousins from Alice Street, who were all charmingly gowned; Miss Ivo Brehan looked very well in white, and so did little Miss Ethel Aber crombie in pale blue muslin, and Miss Mollie Darvall in pink muslin. Mrs. WooLnough, Mrs. J. F. Foxton, Mrg. Thynne, Mrs. Leslie Corrie, Mrs. Moran, and Mrs. Taylor all wore hand some gowns. Mrs. McDowall, Mrs. J. Forrest, Mrs. Blundell (most becomingly frocked), Miss Wade-Brown, in chine foulard, Mrs. and the Misses Perry, and numbers of others were present. Amongst the pretty presents was a silver gravy bowl from Dr. and Mrs. Davidson; cake forks from Mrs. J. P. Mackenzie; a lovely silver soup tureen from the Perry family ; a handsome Doulton bowl of blue and gold china from Mr. and Mrs. A D. Walsh ; a biscuit jar from Mrs. Chauvel; a claret jug from the Copes ; three silver hand mirrors, and a tantalus from the Moores, of Colinton ; a silver jardeniere from Dr. and Mrs. Taylor; a silver cake dish from Mr. B. Newton ; a silver butter dish from M r. K. Mackenzie ; sets of silver backed brushes, scent bottles, cases of table silver, gongs, tea sets, entree dishes, silver bread platter, and every conceivable article 'of use or orna'.nent to beautify the bride's new home, which is about 80 miles from Sydney, and a lovely place, I am told, by those who know it.. Rose leaves, confetti, good wishes, kissess, and such a long, clinging embrace from the bride as she says good-bye* to her tall, fine-looking father. Then the carriages whirl down the avenue, and Messrs. Nutting and Warren-White send their good luck wishes after them materialized into satin slippers, and one of the happiest ami best arranged weddings of the season is over.
