Introduction

[NAME/SUMMARY] Anketell, Gretchen Kathleen (born Hardey, 8 Sep 1908 ~ 28 Oct 2004) [BIRTH: 8 Sep 1908, Perth WA] {🞺} 8 Sep 1908 @BurialInfo {🞺} WA [B]DM #1183; BIRTH: 1908 @ PERTH; NAME[f]: GRETCHEN K [HARDEY]; BORN@: {missing}; FATHER: {missing}; MOTHER: {missing} [MARRIAGE: 1936 Vic] {🞺} VIC BD[M] # 8962/1936; MARRIAGE: 1936; OF: Gretchen Kath [HARDY]; SPOUSE: Wm Hy Jas [ANKETELL]         [❀] 12 Aug 1936 South Yarra, Victoria, Australia @Ancestry {🞺} Wedding Of Interstate Interest         A wedding of interstate interest will be celebrated at Christ Church, South Yarra, this evening when         Miss Gretchen Hardey, only daughter of the late Mr Richard Hardey, M.L.A., of Perth, Western Australia and of Mrs Hardey will be married to         Mr William H. J. Anketell, of East Malvern.         THE distinctive dark-haired bride will be a striking figure in her beautiful clasical bridal gown of pearl-tinted satin and her filmy tulle veil, which she will wear framing the face and swathed round the throat, where it will be held behind each ear with a cream camellia and caught at the back of the neck with a diamond brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. The bodice will be finished with a scarf drapery which folds softly at the neck and falls to the waist in front. The drapery is carried over the shoulders and is continued to form the court train, which is mounted on pearl-tinted chiffon. The skirt is draped in classical folds to the centre back, and a charmingly simple finish will be the sheaf of cream camellias with their own glosy foliage, which will be carried.         Miss Dorothy Anketell, a sister of the bridegroom, and Mis Maisie Vile, of New South Wales, will be the two bridesmaids, and will wear delightful frocks of tulle in shaded orchids tones mounted on slips of orchid satin. Clusters of orchid toned marguerites will be worn at the back of their heads, and will hold the short court veils of misty tulle in place. Their bouquets will be of the same flowers.         THE bridegroom, who is the only son of Mr and Mrs W. L. B. Anketell, of High Street, East Malvern, will have as his best man Mr David Guthrie, and the groomsman will be Mr Melville Arnold.         The ceremony will be performed by the Rev. L. Townsend.         Newspaper: The Herald (Melbourne, Vic.); Wed 12 Aug 1936; Page 17; Wedding Of Interstate Interest
