At the end of 1822 the pass system instituted to keep settlers on their locations wasabandoned, and this was probably one of the reasons for james collett moving to Grahamstown. There is no record of what he did and where he lived during 1823 but he and Rhoda Collett had almost certainly met by that time, he was nearly 24 and she 17 when they were married on Feb 6, 1824, by Rev William Geary in Grahamstown, probably in the Yellow Chapel. The foundation stone of this first place of Wesleyan worship in the town was laid on dec 5th, 1821, and the building was enlarged by the time of their marriage. it was adouble wedding. Rhoda's sisiter Esther's marriage was solemnised at the same time, though they had been married on board the Weymouth.
