Exeter & Plymouth Gazette 18th Sept 1931.

a large country wedding

wedding of Miss Gracey.daughter of Lt Col Gracey.

wedding present list.

the Doctors Teasdale and Mr Waller (Norfolk) a glass bowl.

The article above is regarding the marriage of Lorna Gracey (Possibly the daughter of Elizabeth's brother, Thomas). I suspect that those gifts were actually from Doctors Teasdale and MRS Waller.

Elizabeth's marriage from the Times of India- so The death of Cyprian in 1915 seems to be the correct person:

1910
Grooms Surname Walter
First names Cyprian Hilton
Brides Surname Gracey
First names Elizabeth Helen
Place Allahabad
Year 1910 month Nov day 12
Register Entry Nov 12th at the Cathedral Allahabad Cyprian Hilton Walter of the Nizam's State Railway Secundorabad to Elizabeth Helen daughter of Colonel Gracey CSI late Royal Engineers
Edition Year 1910
Edition Date 29 Nov

Elizabeth Helen Gracey was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Grace Ada

There are quite a few articles relating to Elizabeth's siblings/ cousins in the papers.


Elizabeth was also known as Elsie- an article in Exeter and Plymouth Gazette - Friday 22 July 1898 describes the wedding of Miss Helen Furnivall- her bridesmaids were her cousins- Mary, Norah, ELSIE and Lily Gracey.

Brother Thomas (b1877) married Agnes Campbell Devon in India 1906

Sister Mary Kathleen (b1879) was tragically killed on the railway in 1902- several papers cover the story and inquest.

Sister Norah (b1881) married Reginald Darcy Anderson in 1907

Youngest sister Lily (b1893) married Benjamin Garnet Lampard-Vachell in 1932. There is a photo of the couple in the Exeter and Plymouth Gazette - Friday 28 October 1932.

This may also be of interest- it is about the same family (written 2004), but Elizabeth's 1st husband listed as James Walter (I think this is Cyprian Waller as he was known as Jim), and second husband A. Teasdale (which I suppose must be George).

lots to look at--the only fly being "Elsie"?, never heard of that being a diminutive of Elizabeth but there`s always a first.
Or the name was recorded wrongly--and that certainly wouldn`t be a first!
Please-what is "fibis"? I`ve been doing this family history stuff for several years but I haven`t come across that term before.

I can`t thank you all enough--all this information and so quickly.
The A. Teasdale is George--he was always known as Arthur. He came from quite humble beginings and went on to become an eminent doctor--Elizabeth obviously came from a privilidged family-- they both had a fascinating life what a shame that they went off the family radar and none of their generation on the Teasdale side knew what had become of them.

Fiona - re "fibis" - just Google it.

I've never heard Elsie/ Elizabeth crossover, but I'm certain they are correct- she is listed as Elsie at her cousin's wedding in 1898 when she and her sisters were bridesmaids. Therefore, I don't think she was recorded wrongly on her first husband's death- but just recorded by the name her family called her.

EDIT: Googling does bring up some cases of Elsie being a shortened form of Elizabeth.

thanks Kay??? but not "my" George Arthur. in Burnley.

I`ve now got a lot to go on thanks to all of you helping so I can have yet another go at finding George and Elizabeth`s wedding--it has to be somewhere!

They both had fascinating lives--what a shame no one of their generation on the Teasdale side knew what had become of him after his first wife died.

If she was in US until July 1926 as Waller and 1927/8 qualified as Teasdale then that should narrow it down a bit.Maybe!
