FS Mary Clarke (nee Reid) is Benjamin Ernest Parkers wife....of Collingwood, Melbourne. Also Queenies (Olivia Mary Parker) who married Edwin James McLean(the twin) of "Maplemore" Strathalbyn SA. There is a broadsheet Trove printout somewhere in my possession, that refers to their marriage (a cousin of the war-Sturgeon I think) was an attendant and the bride and groom travelled across country in a couple of weeks back to Maplemore from Melbourne immediately after the wedding ceremony.
(Rene) Irene Reid:initially thought to be unmarried sister of Mary Clarke (nee Reid). All three buried in Milang Cemetery SA
Later discovered with BDM's, however in fact married to Hughie Fordham.... |
