 South African Commercial Advertiser (1841-1851)
| Date transcribed | 2010-00-00 | | Transcribed by | Sue Mackay - Marianne Mansfield - Colleen Sharpe Williams | | Comment | Sue McKay has kindly authorized us to publish her transcriptions of Family History-related data from the Announcements in the South African Commercial Advertiser. This is because they include very many references to personnel in the service of The East India Company en route to or from India or on furlough in S. Africa, which offered a more temperate climate. Also included are many officers and soldiers of the British Army regiments who may well have served in India shortly before or after serving in South Africa. |

George Hough AM, Senior Colonial Chaplain, Fitzherbert CODDINGTON Esquire, Captain HM 40th Regt, third son of the late Nicholas CODDINGTON of Old Bridge House in the County of Meath, Esquire, and nephew of the late Viscount ALLEN, to Jane La Vallin TRELAWNY, youngest daughter of the Honorable Col. TRELAWNY R.A., the newly appointed Governor of St.Helena, and niece of Sir William TRELAWNY Bart, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Cornwall.
The beautiful young bride, chastely arrayed in spotless white, arrived at Church at 6pm in His Excellency's State Coach, and was received by a large assemblage of fashionables, among whom we observed His Excellency Sir George and Lady NAPIER, Sir John WYLDE, Chief Justice of the Colony, Lieut-Col. CLOETE, D.Q.M.Gen, Col. LEWIS, Commandant, &c. The centre aisle of the Church and the Organ Gallery were occupied by elegantly dressed ladies. After the ceremony the parties retired to the Vestry, where His Excellency Sir George NAPIER and Sir John WYLDE attested the marriage. After dinner, at which a large party met, the happy and accomplished pair left Cape Town for Liesbeek Cottage, to spend a short time at that delightful retreat previous to their embarkation for India. On Monday morning Capt. CODDINGTON and his lovely Bride, accompanied by Col. TRELAWNY and a train of gay friends, went on board the splendid ship 'Edinburgh', which was superbly dressed with flags, the whole presenting the most lively and pleasing spectacle that has been witnessed at the Cape for a considerable period. | | | Reference | CO53/6 at the National Archive, Kew, London |
