Even more interesting is that my father and mother still live in Bendemeer (he was teacher there until his retirement some years ago). If the family still lives around there, Dad might know them.

My ancestor was William Elbra the blacksmith. Elbra's gully in main street named after family. Only one relative still living in town now. She lives near the pub.
The Elbra's were there from the early 1850s and would have attend the same school your father taught in. Small world isn't it.
I wonder if your Dad has access to any of the very old school photos. I know there is one that appears in the history book on Bendemeer - and as it was taken in the 1860s it would surely have some of my family members in it.

Hi Johnat,

Just curious, is this the marriage you are talking about?

1361/1869      HOUGH, WILLIAM      GREEN, ANNIE      GLEBE

Just that there is a death notice in 1900:

HOUGH - October 31, (eve of the Festival of All Saints), Annie, the beloved wife of Rev. William Hough, rector of S. Jude's, Randwick, and second daughter of Mr. George Green, of Petersham, aged 55 years.

Hey, Debra.

Thanks for your interest, but no, that's not her. I'm at work at the moment (and don't have access to all the details) but will check when I get a chance at home, and post more details.

Cheers

Back again ... this time from home where I have all my records.

As far as we have been able to ascertain, she married again under her maiden name in Newcastle.
3014/1869      HUGHES      ROBERT      MATTHEWS      ANN      NEWCASTLE

I haven't got either MC to check the familyl details, but will order them both to see. Thanks for assistance.

Cheers
John

Yet again - the Hough marriage is for someone else entirely. This Annie is far too young to my girl.

Thanks, anyway!
