AUNTY VIC CARRIAGE SPEAKS

In an interview for the Coastal Custodians newsletter of February 2005, Aunty Vic Carriage, Ethel Governor's only living child, said that the Page family lived next door to the Governors [on the outskirts of Gulgong in 1898].
She said that Jimmy hung around a lot and so, to protect the family, 'Julia [Ethel's mother] made my mother [Ethel Brown nee Governor nee Page] marry Jimmy Governor'.

The family tree of Frank and Ethel Brown is given in this excellent article.
