Though both are natives of Scotland, they migrated to Queensland at different times when young, and were married at Beenleigh by the Rev. Whiting according to the rites of the Congregational Church (although both are Presbyterians on February 19, 1879. The tea rooms were tastefully decorated for the occa- sion with roses, asters, gerberas, zin- nias, and maiden hair fern with gold ribbon. A centre of attraction was a two-tier wedding cake, the gift of the children, to whose order it was made at Rowe's Cafe. The members of the family present were Mr. and Mrs. W. Simpson, jun.
