John James Weatherstone married Amy Rosetta Bull in the Congregational Church in Manly on 1 June 1890. Amy Rosetta was baptised on 7 April 1870 in St John's Fulham, the daughter of Walter Bull and Harriet Shadwell, and emigrated to Australia from London. I have written about their journey before here.
On the first anniversary of his death, his family inserted a number of notices in the Newcastle Morning Herald. The last notice includes my grandmother, Ruth, as one of his great-grandchildren. She was born only four months before he died.
It always gives such a poignant glimpse at the sorrow felt by the family left behind, reading these tributes.
