[[52168]] DAY, Robert, father unknown and Sarah DAY

When Robert died, his parents were listed as James DAY and Margaret COOK and his mother`s parents were James DAY and Martha COOK. It is most likely that because of his mother`s age when he was born that his grandparents took the role of raising him.

LINKS WITH THE PAST.

Cleveland once nearly became Brisbane That might seem paradoxical, but it is a fact that in the early days of the infant State the quiet, delightful spot where Cleveland now stands was nearly chosen as the site of the State's capital. It was not, but that is another story. In those days, when Cleveland was the scene of more activity, there arrived by bullock waggon one John Sherrin. That was before coaches and trains existed. Sherrin, now gone like most of the pioneers, settled in the district. He later made the bricks that were used in the building of St. Paul's Anglican Church there in 1874, and he and his family were foundation members. One of his daughters was one of those first worshippers. The winged horse of time has galloped madly forward since then-fifty years have been added to a rapidly growing total-and on Saturday last that daughter, now Mrs. E. S. Hanlon, assisted at the golden jubilee celebrations that took place in connection with the church.

Golden Wedding Day.

A very large portion of the public who have been in the habit of visiting Cleveland, will be pleased to know that Mr. and Mrs. John Sherrin have arrived at, and pleasantly passed over their golden marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Sherrin are natives of Higham, near Longport, Somersetshire, England. They have been in the colony over 31 years, and to celebrate this by no means common occurrence, thirty children and grandchildren assembled to greet the aged and honourable pair, and the above by no means exhausted the family circle. Fifty stands to their account when all are collected. Mr. and Mrs. Sherrin may be fairly clashed amongst our valuable colonists, both with regard to the increase of our native population, and the nature of that increase. " Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it," has been confirmed to the letter in this instance, nor have their endeavours to do good been confined to their own family. Mrs. Sherrin has been a Sunday school teacher for over 20 years ; in fact to her belongs the credit of a Cleveland Sunday school in connection with the Church of England. Her untiring perseverance and zeal in the matter have formed a feature of comment to all who have the pleasure of knowing her, and the Sunday scholars on this occasion presented her with a very valuable album, accompanied with a few verses of poetry of a very appropriate kind, manifesting their sense of the untiring and gratuitous nature of her endeavours.

"Another old Queensland identity has passed away in the person of Mrs. Sherrin, the wife of Mr. John Sherrin, Cleveland, who died at her residence on Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Sherrin, both natives of Somersetshire, arrived in Queensland in the early part of 1855. For some years they resided at Moggill, but in 1860 they shifted their home to Cleveland, which in those days was quite a busy little village. Mrs. Sherrin, up to some few years ago, was one of the leading lights of the little Anglican Church. She was also connected with the Sunday school for over twenty-three years. Some two years ago the old couple celebrated their diamond wedding, and were at that time both hale and hearty. It was the old lady's boast that she was the mother of one of the largest families in Queensland, her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren numbering in all eighty-eight.
Of this number seventeen are great-grand-children. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon. Almost every branch of the family was represented, whilst almost the whole of Cleveland turned out to pay their last respects. Mrs. Sherrin was born on the 28th June, 1818, so that at the time of her death she was a little over 80 years of age.

SHERRIN.— In loving and affectionate memory of my dear mother, Elizabeth Sherrin, who was called home July 31, 1898.

And if our fellowship below
In Jesus be so sweet,
What heights of rapture will we know
When round His throne we meet ?
Inserted by her loving daughter Martha.

GOLDEN AND SILVER WEDDING.

More than 120 people assembled at the Memorial Hall, Cleveland, on Saturday evening in honour of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. C. Hanlon, Cleveland, and of the silver wedding of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. F. Richards. Mrs. Richards is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. C. Hanlon, Cleveland, and was married on July 2, 1907, in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Wickham Terrace, Brisbane, to Mr, Fredick Richards, of Brisbane, by the Rev. Swayne M'Qwen. There are three children-Roy, Neville, and Jack. Mr. George Hanlon was born at Dungloe, County Donegal, Ireland, on October 27, 1853. At the age of 18 years he went to America. After spending three years in commercial life he returned to Ireland.
In 1874, accompanied by his sister, he sailed for Australia In the ship Corlic, arriving in Brisbane on March 17, 1875. On arrival Mr. Hanlon joined the Queensland Police Force, and in July, 1882, was married, in All Saints' Church of England, by the Rev. C. G. Robinson to Miss Ellen Sherrin, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sherrin, who arrived In Brisbane by the Cambodia, in 1855, from Somersetshire, England. On reaching Brisbane Mr. and Mrs. Sherrin went to Moggill, where, in 1860, their daughter, Ellen, was born. As a child Mrs. Hanlon attended the first Church of England Sunday school in Cleveland, where her mother was a teacher for 23 years. Mr. Hanlon retired from the Police Force owing to ill-health in 1894, after having risen to the rank of acting sergeant. He then took up other Government duties for 22 years, in all doing 39 years' Government service. During these years he was stationed at Brisbane, Ipswich, Gatton, Murphy's Creek, Caboolture, North Pine, Cabalah, Highfield, and Wellington Point. In 1878 Mr. Hanlon joined the Masonic Order, and held many offices, among which were P.M., P.G.S.B., P.M.B.B., and Foundation Master of Redlands Lodge.
Mr. Hanlon comes of a long-lived family -his grandfather died at the age of 105 years, his grandmother at 101, his mother at 103, and his father at 84. Mrs. Hanlon has been a member of the Redlands branch of the Women's Auxiliary since its inception. Of the marriage there are six children, comprising two sons-Grant Clinton (Sydney) and George (Cleveland), both of whom served in the Great War -four daughters-Mesdames F. Richards, W. Mullins, J. Crabb (all of Brisbane), and E. Elder Shaw (Sydney). There are also 10 grandchildren. Features of the brides' and bridegrooms' table on Saturday were two two-tier wedding cakes. One made by Mrs. Crabb, and iced in gold and silver by Mrs. J. Melrose, and the other decorated with white icing and silver slippers by Mrs. Patterson. Mr. G. J. Watler acted as chairman. Mr. H. A. Jones proposed the toast of Mr. and Mrs. Hanlon, and Mr. E. Macnalght proposed the toast of Mr. and Mrs. Richards. Mr. H. Rogers spoke on behalf of the Redlands branch of R.S.S.I.L.A. Mrs. Rogers, on behalf of the Women's Auxiliary, presented Mrs. Hanlon with a silver cake dish. Musical Items were given by Miss R. Wellstead, Miss M. Burgess, Mrs. F. Hopkins, and Messrs. G. Crabb and H. Hopper. Dancing, games, and cards were also enjoyed.
