Hi,
This may be a mystery to old to solve but please bear with me.
Selina Wilton (later Weyman) married Stephen Feening born approx 1878 at the Penrith Presbyterian Church on 11.06.1906.
At the time it was noted he was a greengrocer. that lived in Penrith, NSW.
That evening (wedding day) he kissed Selina goodbye, said he had business in Sydney to take care of and he'd return in a few days. He was never seen again.
25.06.1906 - Petitioner took out a warrant for Stephen's arrest on the grounds of wife desertion.
A divorce was granted to Selina 30.08.1911
I know Stephen's parents were John Feening 1850 - 1923 and Martha M Barker 1852 - 1919.
He had a brother Frederick Feening 1881 - 1960. This brother had two children that I know of, Stanley Feening b. 1905 and his sister Vera May Feening b. 1907.
Stephen Feening's other siblings - Henry b. 1872, Isaiah b. 1875, Jacob b. 1876, William b. 1880, Ernest F b. 1892, John b. 1883, Elizabeth b. 1887, Alfred b. 1889, May M b. 1894.
Are there any living relatives out there where any of the above might apply to their family tree??
The thought is he took off and started a new life somewhere else to escape the responsibilities of marriage however he could have just as easily met his death soon after his wedding.
Selina (names after my great grandmother)
