Triple Wedding – TAYLOR 1873

It seems we have a triple wedding in the family!

My great great grandmother JANET YOUNG (former married name McEWAN/McEWEN) married JAMES TAYLOR on 01 October 1873 at Broken Creek, near Benalla, Victoria. This was her second marriage.

Her husband’s two daughters’ marriages formed a triple wedding for the family. Both daughters married farmers from the local district.

MARRIAGES.
