(Bridesmaid & Niece) Marriage

(Groom) Dr Ronald Hamlyn Hamlyn-Harris, (Bride) Bertha Hamlyn Harris; All Saints Church of England, Tumut, NSW; >
Marriage Notice in Sydney Morning Herald, 23 Jan 1909, page 12:
     HAMLYN HARRIS-HARRIS -- 30 Dec 1908, at All Saints, Tumut, by the Rev. W. D. Kennedy, Ronald Hamlyn Harris, third son of the late Captain Hamlyn Huntingdon Hamlyn Harris, 18th Hussars, and Bertha, youngest daughter of Hamlyn Lavicount Harris, of Wermatong Station, Tumut.

     A very extensive report of the marriage had appeared in the Tumut & Adelong Times on 1 Jan 1909. It includes descriptions of the marriage ceremony, the bride's dress and the subsequent reception and breakfast at Madigan's Oriental Hotel. It refers to the groom as 'a distant connection of the Harris family. He hails from Toowoomba, QLD, and is the third son of the late Captain Hamlyn Huntingdon Hamlyn-Harris, of Maryborough, QLD. The principal bridesmaids were Misses Nellie and Edna Harris (sisters of the bride) ... There were also two little bridesmaids (Jean Stacey and Kathleen Walker), nieces of the bride ... Mr A. N. Stacey (brother-in-law to the bride) ... [was] best man. ... [The couple] left by train, on the day of the wedding, to enjoy their honeymoon ... near Sydney. ...'

Extract from Stacy 'HL Harris of Wermatong':
     Bertha was the sweetest little bride of 19 in the conventional wedding array. Nell and Edna were her maids, also Kathleen Walker and Jean Stacy (aged 4 and 3). When the newly-weds went to the vestry the two children calmly sat down on the sanctuary steps to rest!
     The wedding refreshments were provided by Mrs Madigan at the Oriental Hotel.^7,8,9,10

(Witness) Funeral

c 28 Dec 1957

George Thomas Hamlyn (Tom) Harris; Launceston, TAS; >
A special RSL funeral was conducted by Rev. Len Sutton [Len was married to Tom's niece Kathleen Walker]. Len's eulogy recorded:
'For some twenty-five years his medical practice brought him into contact with a very large number of people who will remember with gratitude his help and comfort to them in their time of need. He was closely associated with Queen Victoria Hospital, being Chairman of the Board of Management for some six years. A Wing of that hospital was named after him to commemorate his work. He was a member of a family with fine military traditions, and this, together with his own service in the First AIF led him always to take an active interest in the Returned Servicemen's League and this year he was elected President of the local Sub Branch. He was also a keen member of Legacy.'²⁵
