Hi I have no connection to this couple but found info of their Golden Wedding Anniversary on a sheet of Newspaper used as backing on an old photo. It actually has more detail on the ancestors than themselves. I know I'd love to stumble across it if it was my family! I thought I'd send it on while I have it in case it helps anyone. I don't know what the newspaper but I gather it was 25th March 1946! GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Congratulations were extended to Mr & Mrs W W Middletonof East Maitland on the occasion of the celebration of their golden wedding to-day. They were married on March 25th 1896 by the Rev CharlesWhyte, M A of Brown-St ConregationalChurch Newcastle.
