Carrie’s apparent absence from group : ‘Mrs G Spilsbury’ may be typo for ‘Mrs E.Spilsbury’ (middle row).
CHAMPION : relatives of the groom. I believe, but need to confirm, that Rev. A. Champion was Anglican pastor in Bungendore when my mother (CSF) was a child AND later headmaster of the KING’S SCHOOL at Parramatta.
With a guest list including Lady Braddon & daughter – Sir Edward Braddon, Premier of Tas, 1894-1899) – and Canon Beresford, the Park House, Leith, Fultons obviously moved in the ‘best’ circles : hoi polloi need not apploi ( emploi upper crust accent for proper effect). Good to see them adhering to our own Fulton code.

Abercynrig The earliest house on the site was probably built by the Aubrey family in the thirteenth century. By the fourteenth century the family, first recorded in Brecon, has risen to local prominence and during the sixteenth century Dr William Aubrey (circa 1529-95) rose to national prominence as an intellectual and lawyer.
Within the present house there are traces of an earlier, sixteenth-century one that was probably built by Dr Aubrey. The antiquary John Aubrey, in Brief Lives, states that Dr Aubrey, his great grandfather, bought Abercynrig from an Aubrey cousin and that he built the ‘great house at Brecknock: his study looks on the river Usk. He could ride nine miles together on his own land in Breconshire’. After his death the family declined rapidly in prosperity, his grandson Sir William Aubrey, of Tredomen, finally squandering the entire fortune. This forced the sale of Abercynrig in 1621 to Jeffrey Jeffreys, a prosperous mercer of Brecon. By 1651 the Jeffreys family had bought all the Abercynrig lands.
The present house was built by a member of the Jeffreys family, probably Colonel John Jeffreys, in the 1680s and apart from the insertion of sash windows in the nineteenth century has been little altered. It retains its seventeenth-century woodwork, fireplaces and staircases, with contemporary painted panels over the main fireplaces depicting the story of Diana and Actaeon.
