Arthur Shute [35417]

Arthur married Florence May Marks [1368] [MRIN: 13380], daughter of John Marks [1369] and Elizabeth Preston Moffit [1370], on 1900 Jun 30 in New South Wales, Australia. (Florence May Marks [1368] was born in 1863 in Kiama, Camden County, New South Wales ¹ and died in 1932 in Woollahra District, New South Wales, Australia.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

• Engagement Notice, 1900 Jun 30. ² THE GAY WORLD. (1900, June 30). Clarence and Richmond Examiner (Grafton, NSW : 1889 - 1915), p. 2. Retrieved October 21, 2011, from <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article61279967>
Another engagement I note is that between Miss Edith Marks, eldest daughter of Mr. J. Marks, of Potts Point, and Mr. Arthur Shute. The Marks' are a very upper crust Jewish family indeed, and the number of beauties they have produced is astonishing. It was a Miss Marks, if I mistake not, who became the bride of Paget Bayly, son of Nicholas Paget Bayly, of Mudgee, one of our genuine millionaires and a cousin of the Marquis of Duglesey. It was a very fashionable affair that, and created quite a stir ; but the bridegroom died early on the honeymoon voyage to England, and his bride was a widow almost before she had begun to realise she was a wife. I have heard that the whole of the Bayly money reverted to the family, and that the bulk of it is now held by Alfred Bayly, the late Mr. Paget Bayly's brother.
