    • SKEGGS-GARDINER
      On. Saturday, January 21, a pretty wedding was solemnised in the Yarloop Wesley Church, between Rubeena, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Gardiner, of Yarloop, and Frederick William, only son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Skeggs, of Hertfordshire, England, the Rev. G. R. Limb officiating. The bride looked dainty as she entered the decorated church on the arm of her father to the strains of "The Voice that Breathed O'er Eden," sung by the congregation with Mr. Walters at the organ. Her gown was of white satin with lace yoke and sleeves, set off with ankle-length veil and carrying a bouquet of white roses, chrysanthemums and pink forget-me-nots. The bride was attended by Miss Maud Gardiner (sister of the bride), and Miss .Gwen Brown (cousin). Miss Gardiner was attractively gowned in blue satin with white crinoline hat, and blue trimmings to match. Miss Brown was also attractively gowned in pink morocain with blue crinoline straw with pink trimmings. Both car- ried bouquets to match. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr. G. Turkington, and Mr. Dan Gardiner (brother of the bride) was groomsman. At the conclusion of the ceremony the guests were conveyed to Mrs. Gillard's HaJJ, where the reception was held.

  • Notes 
    • I wonder if someone who has access to the appropriate info could please do a look up for a fellow researcher from Canada. She asked me if I could help. She is looking to find any children of the marriage of Ernest Arthur Baker married Elsie Gladys Skeggs March 29th.,1913 Wesley Church Perth. Apparently Ernest enlisted in 1915 and papers indicate that he had a wife and child so theoretically the child would have been born between 1913 and 1915. However they could have had more later on. Ernest Baker would have been her Father-in-law's uncle. The Father-in-law is 86 and was sent to Canada as part of the British Home Child period from Barnado's Homes. The family is trying to find him some information about his family. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you
      Kind regards

      Hi Merrilyn,
      I have checked the Uniting Church Baptism Register for you, (this includes the Methodist, Presbyterian & Congregational Churches) and found one Baptism for you.

      Gladys Clara May BAKER was born 22 October 1913, father Ernest Archer BAKER, mother Elsie Gladys, Baptised 14 Dec 1913, Fremantle by Rev Chas A Jenkins, Methodist Church.

      That was the only child recorded to these parents in our records. I don't know why the fathers name was recorded as "Archer", maybe our transcribers made a mistake.
      Cheers,
      Betty
