Parents of Mary Sophia FULLER b Armidale 1862

[Walcha72]

Just to add more confusion...

There is a death of a Mary Sophia TEMPLE in North Sydney in 1943 on the NSW BDMs.  Her parents are listed as John and Sarah.

The following death notice is from the SMH of 5 March 1943:

TEMPLE - March 4, 1943, at her residence, Kurrajong, Carabella Street, Kirribilli, Mary Sophia, widow of the late Percy A. Temple, aged 78 years.

TEMPLE-FULLER - November 4, at St.Leonards Villa, Bondi, the residence of Mr. Thomas Fuller (the bride's uncle), by the Rev. E.F.Thomas, Percy Augustus Temple to Mary Sophia Fuller, only daughter of Mr. Reuben Fuller of Sydney.

From the Sands Alpha Directory 1885 for Sydney (closing date for inclusions was end of Oct 1884)

Thomas FULLER, St Leonards, Fletcher St Wav (JM presumes Waverley)
John TEMPLE, caretaker of Agricultural Ground, Moore Park
T James TEMPLE, house decorator, Alfred St, St L E (JM presumes St Leonards, East)
Rev E F THOMAS, Britannia Terrace, Point Piper Road, Woollahra 

No listing of a Reuben FULLER but .... there are other entries which may (and of course may well NOT) be part of this Fuller family:

Mrs Jane Fuller, fruit grower, Lane Cove Road, North Willoughby  (Lane Cove Road mentioned here is NOT the current Lane Cove Road, but in fact is part of the current Pacific Highway).
Robert Fuller, fruit grower, Blue Gum Creek Road, North Willoughby
Thomas Fuller, fruit grower, Blue Gum Creek Road, North Willoughby

Thanks JM,

That's wonderful. 1892 and he's alive and at "St Leonards" and with a street address.
The T James Temple is the father-in-law. (He's where I started eons ago, he's so real to me)

Thank you Debbie,
That John and Sarah have foxed me all this time, I think they were misnomers because when Mary Sophia died there weren't too many people left that would remember her history...not that I'd blame them two world wars and a depression would change your priorities.

Thank you for all your help.
