2620/1904 WALKER JOHN W MUIR PRIMROSE W SYDNEY


From NLA Trove newspaper

The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 11 January 1954
WALKER Primrose Watson - January 8, 1954, at Sefton, dearly loved mother of Jean, Barbara, Dorothy and Tirzah, aged 83 years.
At rest.

Funeral at Rookwood Crematorium.

Thanks for the info on Primrose - very helpful.

It is difficult to tell the age of the adults but she is the spitting image of a man I suspect could be her Brother William Watson Muir b1969???

that marriage is the other one on the page with Margaret so ignore it anyway

why do you think it was one of those does the bride look late 30s ?

from ancestry tree

Name: Primrose Watson Muir
Birth: 24/4/1870 (24 Apr 1870) - Surrey, England
Death: 1954 - Auburn Vale, New South Wales, Australia
Parents: Andrew Muir, Barbara Black McAlpine
Spouse: John Wallace Walker

Yes I did think that myself.

Maybe it could be Doris Muir b1894???

Possibly the wedding was 1911 (I'm estimating the year as my Grandfather is in the photo born in 1907 and he looks about 3 yrs old. Also his cousin born in 1910 is a baby in the picture)

Was there a minimum age for marriage at this period of time???

that marriage is the other one on the page with Margaret so ignore it anyway

why do you think it was one of those does the bride look late 30s ?

Thanks jax,
That can't be her unfortunately.
Elizabeth Lyon is a relation but not born until 1932.
She is the daughter of my great aunt.

Those Girls would have been quite old to be marrying in 1910

Thanks, the wedding i'm looking for was in 1910 not 1999

Think that is a bit recent Lindsey?

oops sorry !

Please help!!
I have a wonderful Muir Family Wedding photograph but am unable to identify the Bride and Groom.

I believe it was taken in London in 1910 and the likely suspects for the Bride could be one of the following sisters...
Primrose Muir b1871
Jeanette Muir b 1876
Margaret Muir b 1878.
Their Parents were Andrew and Barbara Muir
The Groom is a Sailor!

Thank you
