| Religious marriage | William WHITE — View this family June 19, 1862 (aged 25 years) Address: "Married in the house of W Arnot - Richmond" Note: William was a farmer from Lower Plenty and Jessie was a spinster from Richmond. One of the witnesses… William was a farmer from Lower Plenty and Jessie was a spinster from Richmond. One of the witnesses was Jessie's brother, James Miller Arnot. The signature of the other witness is less clear. It is that of Margaret, maybe Arnot. Married by a Baptist minster according to the rites of the Baptist Church. William had also signed that he was a member of the Presbyterian Church. The record identifies the location as that of "the house of W Arnot - Richmond". I have never found such a person, apart from a bookseller in St Kilda. However, Jessie's brother, James Miller Arnot did reside in Richmond and he was a witness so I wonder if a mistake was made. |

However, William moved his family to Brighton a few years after Jessie's death. Brighton Cemetery became the resting place for himself and family where they were nestled within an area also containing his wife's sister's family and also that of his daughter, Edith. |

She had moved to Lysterville St, Malvern by the time of the 1912 electoral roll. A small ancient castle sat on a tiny island in the Firth of Firth a few miles from Inverkeithing. It had been built for Sir David Stewart who had been granted the Barony of Rosythe in 1428. it is now landlocked within a naval dockyard.
