WELCH, Noel St.Vincent May

   Other names for Noel were WELCH, Noel St.Vincent Mai ¹ and WELSH, Noel.

  Events

• Occupation. ² Mr Welch was a bank manager at Knysna. We subsequently learned that it was Barclays Bank.
According to Meg Perkins (nee Francis) he retired from his position as Manager, Barclays Bank, Port Elizabeth in 1957

• Death. According to Meg Perkins (nee Francis) he died in 1964 as the result of a motor accident in Rhodesia.

Noel married Eveline Marguerite WEEBER, daughter of Matthys Johannes WEEBER and Georgina Agnes ASPELING, on Dec 9, 1925 in Dutch Reformed Church. Beaufort West, South Africa. (Eveline Marguerite WEEBER was born on Apr 3, 1897 in Queenstown South Africa ³, christened on May 3, 1897 in Dutch Reformed Church, Beaufort West, South Africa and died about 1986 in Pretoria, South Africa.)

• Alt Marriage. Meg Perkins (nee Francis) writes as follows:-
She was living at the Nazareth House Old Age Home so perhaps the service was held there? The date engraved in Evelyn's wedding ring is 9.11.1925 and not 8 December. I think the wedding ring date should be trusted above what anyone thinks the date was.
But the date of marriage solemnisation on the Certificate gives 9 December 1925. This includes the cancellation date on the revenue stamp

  Marriage Notes:

Meg Perkins in an e-mail dated 7 Apr 07 says that her mother advises that Norel and Evelyn Welch were married in the Dutch Reformed Church, Beaufort West on 8 Dec 1925 and adds "I guess she should know!"
So we will relegate the alternate informatiom of a marriage in Cape Town in Nov 1926 as of secondary importance.
