married 23 aug 1889, wild dog valley in elliston, south australia
thomas henry summers (c.1858-1931 adelaide) to edith katherine donnelly (1861 gumeracha-1942 adelaide). i don't have a copy of the record, but father listed as thomas henry summers (no occuptions or mother's names on s.a. records). edith was the daughter of samuel donnelly (c.1836-1865 adelaide. police trooper.) and martha matilda piggott (c.1834-1867 gumeracha). newspaper clippings of the marriage state thomas henry summers senior was deceased, and from axminster, somerset.
i know nothing of thomas henry summers prior to 1889. there are plenty of thomas summers born in somerset, but not a thomas henry in bmd or census.
as for samuel donnelly and martha matilda piggott; they married 18 mar 1860 at gumeracha, south australia. fathers: robert donnelly and george piggott. neither seem to be born in australia, and i can't locate anything on their origins. i suspect samuel was irish, and newspaper clippings state he was a police trooper.
can anybody help?
