Notes:

The Rise of South Africa by G E Cory Vol 2, Pg 195..
As an instance, G. Hodgkinson, a very poor man, wished to marry Ann Atkins [sic], a very poor woman. They appeared before the Matrimonial Court when, on account of their poverty, the legal formalities were performed gratis. They then repaired to Mr Geary (clergyman at the time) hoping that he also would treat the case in forma pauperis, but his answer was 'Rds.33 in advance". Unable to pay this they returned grieved and dissatisfied with their marriage to their location. Mr Miles Bowker moved on their behalf and the matter came before Mr Rivers. He approached Mr. Geary with a view to getting him to reconsider his decision, 'which I expected" he said, 'he would yield as much in compassion to the parties as in courtesy to me,' but apparently without result.

At the time of Sarah's death, George was farming at Tiger Springs, Bathurst.
