Hi Shane
Thanks for your help on this. I know his wife was Mary Hughes and her obituary gives some clues:
On Tuesday late, July 21, were interred at the cemetery, St Frances de Sales, Mount Barker, the mortal remains of the late Mrs William Rollison, relict of the late Inspector Rollison, who died at his residence, "The Briars", Mount Barker, on March 30 {Easter Sunday}, 1902. The deceased lady had been ailing for a considerable time, and failed noticeably during the last twelve months, and the end came at 2.15p.m. on Sunday, July 19. Mrs Rollison was born on April 13, 1833, and lived until her marriage in the town of Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, Ireland. She had a clear remembrance of the dreadful plague which visited Ireland in her girlhood, also of hearing such eminent men as Daniel O'Connell and Father Mathew, the great temperance lecturer, speak in her native town while she was yet a girl, attending the Presentation Convent there. Her marriage to William Rollison, then of Keily's Cross, Co. Waterford, took place in 1855, and immediately after that ceremony, which was celebrated by Dr Halley, then parish priest of Dungarvan, the bride sailed with her husband in the ship Sea Park for South Australia, arriving on the shores of that colony in the same year, to commence the battle of life with a cheerful heart. Many quaint reminiscences of this time were related by the deceased lady. Mrs Rollison was a consistent and devout Catholic, attending Mass at St Francis de Sales until about fourteen months ago, since which time Father Landy has kindly and regularly conveyed the Blesed Sacrament to her home once a month to sustain and console her. Eight sons and daughters mourn their loss - William Robert, Robert Hewson, and A. Rollison of the Civil Service, Marianne, at present in New Zeland, Katherine and Nelly of "The Briars", Mount Barker, MArgaret, and Mrs Gen Harrison, wife of Gen Harrison of "The Age" staff, Melbourne. Father Landy held short prayers at "The Briars" previous to the start of the funeral cortege, and conducted the service at the grave. R.I.P."
I have requested information from her school and the church but neither have responded.
Where would I get the marriage certificate? Would it even exist?
Regards
Nick
