Their marriage was performed at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel of Lofthouse, by Thomas Law,
Wesleyan Minister.
The attached photo is of George, Rosina, Harold & Annie in Newcastle, NSW. The kids were
about 4 years apart in age, which is coonsistent with the apparent ages in the photo. It
was probably taken shortly before the turn of the century, when George & Rosina would have
been in their mid 30s, and the children perhaps 5 and 9.
In the 1901 census, two males and two females, as expected.
Plattsburgh is now known as Wallsend.
In April 1936, he visited Georgina in Scranton, by way of Los Angeles. He lists himself

Newcastle, NSW.
In his death record, his abode is given as New Lambton and age as 88 years.
