LAMPLOUGH, George Arthur ALLWRIGHT, to Teresa MILLIN, sixth daughter of Mr. John MILLIN, Ramsden, Oxford, England.   Tuesday, March 21, 1882   BRUTAL MURDER. The town was thrown into a state of excitement last week by the report that a brutal murder had been committed on the Lesseyton road.  Mr. H. CALLAGHAN forwarded a letter to the Acting Magistrate (Mr. BREDA) stating that certain bedding and clothing had been found on the outskirts of his farm, near the main road, and a further letter that the body of an European was found dragged from the main road and hidden in some boulders a little below Lesseyton Nek.  The Acting Magistrate, accompanied by the District Surgeon, proceeded to the spot, and had the body conveyed to the gaol hospital.  There was some delay in identifying the murdered man, but this was ultimately done by Mr. WISE, who recognized it as being that of Mr. John LIEFELDT, who was returning with his wagon from the Fields.  It was also afterwards identified by Mr CARLISLE, a relative.  Mr LIEFELDT had occasion to discharge his driver at Reddersburg, and suspicion at once rested on this individual and the leader, to Finoes of Oxkraal.  Mr BREDA at once set the town and Divisional Police at work.  It was soon ascertained that a number of oxen answering to the decription of those owned by Mr LIEFELDT, had been offered by natives for sale, but not sold on the market, the Marketmaster taking a copy of the man’s pass as a guarantee of good faith, (this was granted by Mr. HEMMING in 1876).  These oxen were afterwards bought by Mrs. WESSELS and are now in the possession of the Court, four being sworn to as belonging to Mr LIEFELDT.  This wagon with gear was afterwards found outspanned and left at the west end of the town, evidently driven thus far, the oxen being taken out and sold.  The cartel and sides of the wagon were besmeared with blood, and the handle of the screw jack found in the wagon was covered with human hair, shewing plainly that the murderer had attacked Mr. LIEFELDT while asleep in the cartel, and battered him to death with this instrument.  The jaw was broken, and the head terribly disfigured...   Tuesday, March 28, 1882   A YOUNG man, named William BARKER, was found dead in his room on Tuesday morning.  He had been drinking heavily for some months past.  When discovered he had what was supposed to be a bottle of brandy close to him;  the contents of the bottle were examined by the District Surgon and pronounced to be a vile poisonous compound.  It was pretty well known where deceased obtained the stuff, and the matter being incidentally referred to at the licensing board, and application for a renewal of the licence was refused.  The whole of the circumstances connected with the death of BARKER are sad in the extreme.- Fort Beaufort Advocate.   A SAD CASE.- A man named McLAGHLIN left his home in Scotland about three months ago, for an appointment on the Cape railways.  It appears that he was taken ill on board the steamer shortly after leaving England, and was under the Doctor’s care all through the voyage.  He had married just before starting and his wife accompanied him on his journey being constantly engaged in nursing and tending him.  On his arrival at Port Elizabeth, however, he entered his duties as engine driver on the Midland line, and actually performed one journey to Graff-Reinet but his malady was too strong for him, and he was obliged to give up his employment.  He lingered for a few weeks, but gradually grew worse, and died in Uitenhage on Thursday week last.  His funeral was attended by a large number of his fellow countrymen, and we (Chronicle) understand their sympathy assumed a more practical form than that shown by mere attendance at the grave.  Unfortunately, the poor widow is left without any means of subsistence here.   Thursday, March 30, 1882   It is our melancholy duty to recordthe death of Mrs. S. PARKER, wife of Mr. T.H. PARKER, senior.  The lamented deceased came to this colony with her parents among the Settlers of 1820, and in early life joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church and remained a consistent member and class leader up to the last.  Mrs. PARKER become a teacher of youth at the early age of 16 years, and (although the loving and thoughtful mother of a large family, eleven of whom reached the age of maturity and eight survive) continued in this her work of pleasure up to a few weeks of her death.  The dear departed one, after a short illness left her sorrowing friends early on Saturday morning, and the funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, followed by a very large number of mourners and friends.   MARRIED- By Special licence at St. Michael’s Church, by the Rev. VYVYAN, Capt. A.P. TAINTON, to Jessie Goldsmith, third daughter of the late James LONG, Esq.- No Cards.   DIED – At Queenstown, on 25th March, 1882, Sarah PARKER (born PENNY), the beloved wife of Thomas H. PARKER, Senr., aged 71 years, 8 months, and 17 days, leaving a husband and large family to mourn their loss

Hi Listers Can anyone please provide me with more details on the two brides and possible siblings 1. MARRIED,- At Queenstown, on the 15th March, 1882, by the Rev. R. LAMPLOUGH, George Arthur ALLWRIGHT, to Teresa MILLIN, sixth daughter of Mr. John MILLIN, Ramsden, Oxford, England.(I have her mother as ANN MILLIN) and George Arthur trained as a printer with the "FREE PRESS" in Queenstown. In 1887 he was engaged by Messers. Mendelssohn & Scott to help start a newspaper in Johannesburg. This newspaper, the "STANDARD" was published for the first time on the 12 March 1887, just a week after another newspaper, the "DIGGERS NEWS" had started. A third paper the "MINING ARGUS" began publication about the same time as the 'STANDARD'. As a result of the success of these three papers a number of others were started. Among these was the "Eastern Star" which soon became "THE STAR". The "STANDARD" and the "DIGGERS NEWS" later amalgamated. In 1911 George Arthur Allwright was "Works Manager' of the "RAND DAILY MAIL" and the "SUNDAY TIMES". 2. MARRIED- By Special licence at St. Michael’s Church, by the Rev. VYVYAN, Capt. A.P.
