Hint: This site is intended as a search aid - not a definitive source. It is essentially an index to documents that seem to relate to this person plus a very brief precis of relevant elements. Sources often conflict and I also flag things with a ? when I am unsure. So if the information below is important to you, then please check the original sources to see what else they contain (and in case I have inadvertantly introduced transcription and/or precising errors). There can be additional information that was not included in the database for both space and copyright reasons.

Source:# 1531 WEDDING IN SOUTH AFRICA. The last mail from South Africa (says the "Western Star") brought news of the marriage in Pretoria, in the Transvaal, on the 10th of November [1904], of Mr. George EZZEY, second son of the late Henry EZZEY, Esq., of New South Wales, to Miss Katherine BOYD youngest, daughter of Mr. George BOYD, of Forest Hill, near Ipswich, Queensland. The description of the wedding states that the bride wore a charming costume of pale blue voile, with hat to match, and carried a lovely bouquet of cream roses. She was attended by the Misses Gracie and Vera CUNNEEN, who were attired in dresses of cream voile. Mr. J PARKER acted at best man. At the conclusion of the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of Mr. U CUNNEEN, a former resident of Roma, and Mr. and Mrs EZZEY subsequently left by train for Johannesburg. Mr. EZZEY is not unknown in the Maranoa district, as he resided at Amby for a number of years, and left there, along with several Amby men to join the Sixth Queensland Imperial Bushmen for active service in South Africa. Since the war Mr. EZZEY has been attached to the Trigonometrical Survey Department, and his friends will be pleased to learn that matters are going well with him.

Apology: For some time now it has been difficult to keep up with the newly available sources (especially the Trove newspaper site) plus the flow of contributions and queries. So I have been forced to prioritise maintenance and data entry over replying to correspondence. Nevertheless, your contributions are being added to the database and acknowledged on the contributions page and, although my replies are many months behind, I will attempt to get to them more often.
