ROELS – LETHERIDGE
April 6, 1892 1862, by the Rev Dr Lang, DD.,  Philip Jean, eldest son of Albert J ROELS, merchant, Rotterdam, to Mary Ann Amelia, eldest daughter of J Letheridge, master mariner.

Terrific find JM.

Proves our suspicions all along that Mary Ann Amelia eventually "married" Philip ROELS

Essie

The significance of the date ...... Capt Roels was killed on  Feb 1882, so it was an anniversary announcement on 27 Feb 1892....

It's amazing how much information has been uncovered on this thread. it has been helpful for researchers of other related families such as the Philp family and the families in the previous post.

I am tidying up my notes re the ROELS family, so here are further newspaper cuttings to help with some of Mary Ann Amelia’s ROELS children


ROELS.-Sacred to the memory of Captain P. J. Roels, who was shot at sea on February 27,1882, aged 54 years. Inserted by his loving daughter, L. Hynard.

ROELS.—In memory of Captain P. J. Roels, murdered at sea on 27th February, 1882, aged 54 years. Inserted by his daughter, Lena Hynard.

Mr. F. A. Roels, of Ultimo, has been notified that his son, Private A. E. Roels, has been wounded in France; and Mrs. J. Hughes, of New Lambton, has been informed that her son, Prlvate R. Hughes, has been wounded. Both are grandsons of the late Captain P. J.Roels, for many years well-known in shipping circles.

Albert Edward ROELS, was the son of Fitz ROELS (I suspect this would be Sydney F but that is just speculating, you would need bdms to sort out properly)
 Reginald HUGHES was the son of Blanche Mary HUGHES nee ROELS (this would be the same lady who is mentioned in Mary Ann Amelia ROELS death notice)

Both these chaps AIF service records are freely available at the National Archives of Australia’s website.
