I have picked up a number of references to the BANNAH family of
Eidsvold... specifically in relation to Frank BANNAH (Junior?) and
the WEDEMEYER family. Presumably it is the same BANNAH family as
Darryl's.

(A) Wedding at St Mark's C of E, Eidsvold, 8 Dec 1921, Walter
William BEEBE & Kate Muriel WEDEMEYER. "At the conclusion of the
ceremony, Mrs. F. B. Bannah, the choir organist, who throughout the
proceedings presided at the organ, rendered the Wedding March
appropriately, and in her usual capable manner". "Wedding Bells"
column in a local newspaper.


(B) (1) Frank BANNAH
d. Eidsvold?
& Theresia KUIBACHER
| (2) Iris Ellenor BANNAH
| b. 20 May 1898
| d. 14 Aug 1974, Bundaberg Qld.
| bur. 16 Aug 1974, Bundaberg, Qld.
| & William Louis (Dud) WEDEMEYER
| m. 23 Jan 1924, Qld


(C) "Eidsvold State School 1889-1989 Centenary"..... referring to
some time around 1920 "Tom, my brother, Elsie and I (WEDEMEYER
children) used to ride a horse triple back to and from school. At
the cemetery, on the way home we'd have a great game of marbles with
the Reisers and Birchleys until Frank Bannah reported us to our
parents."

See my website on the WEDEMEYER family:

WEDEMEYER of Goslar, Hannover Germany.
Emigrant to Gayndah, Mt Perry, Drummers Creek, Qld

Darryl, can you please give me more detail about Frank BANNAH Junior?
