Married:

They were married by Rev. T Creswell witnessed by W A D Matthew and J A Matthew. The Grahamstown Journal of 7th April reported the occasion on p2c7 that Barend Woest and Phillip Amm Jnr were witnesses.
"On Thursday last (April 2nd) a fashionable wedding, which caused no small stir, in Salem, was celebrated in that village. On this occasion Mr Phillip Amm, Snr, took his third wife in the person of Amelia Ann Verity, relic of the late Mr John Verity. The ceremony was a novel one , both the bride and bridegroom being above the normal age. The bride was attired in a splendid and costly peach blossom coloured moire antique dress and was attended by Mrs S B Shaw, Mrs Matthews and Mrs C Hill. Mr S B Shaw gave the bride away and the ceremony was performed by Rev. T. Cresswell. A Large wedding party subsequently celebrated the event."
