Notes:

"It is not known why Gerard and Martha delayed their marriage until 1905,
despite having five children between 1896 and 1904. Gerad came from aCatholic
background, whereas Martha was an Anglican, so quite possibly the clergy of
neither church were prepared to marry them. This would explain why they wher
eventually married by a Congregational minister, which church took a more
liberal attitude to mixed marriages.

Pierre married Martha "Mattie" Quin on 23 Aug 1905 in 101 Gore St Fitzroy Victoria. Martha was born on 25 Jun 1872 in Sandhurst (Bendigo) Victoria; died on 12 May 1948 in Lucknow Hosp, Claremont Western Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Although her birth was not registered, for the purposes of he marriage
registration, Martha stated that she was born in Bendigo (formerly known as
Sandhurst). This seems highly likely as her parents and siblings were living
in that area at around the time of her birth. Martha was probably named after
her aunt, i.e. her mothers younger sister Martha Hooper (nee Goodman).
Martha and Gerad and their family lived at La Malmaison, their home in
Mayfield St East St Kilda and later at 118 Williams Rd Toorak.
After settling the affairs of her husband folowing his death in 1923, Martha
and some of her children moved to Perth. Two sisters, Mabel and Clara, also
lived in Perth. Apart from the occasional visit, Martha never returned to live
in Victoria.
