  Married: BDM Online. (Raewyn) This was a double wedding with Jane's brother Willie Clarke. Entry from CS Clarke's diary: Tuesday 13th September 1910 The rain last night has changed the wind which is now SW and it turned out a very fine day, we were all up betimes and had an early breakfast and Jack, Willie & I carried things down to the Hall, there were a lot of willing helpers. Miss McKenzie decorated the tables and made the bouquets for the brides & bridesmaids. Mr & Mrs Archie Dunning, Charlie Wyatt, Hattie & Alf Wyatt, Mabel & I were cutting up sandwiches, the "Kawau" arrived from Auckland bringing, Fred and Vic, Henry, Mrs Simpson, Ken Wallace, Tillie Coplestone & Pearl Greenwood for the weddings, also Mrs G. Davey. The wedding was solemnized in the Public Hall Leigh at 3p.m. Revd K. W. P. Teale MA. (Anglican) officiated, Mrs C. Gravatt presided at the organ and played the Bridal March, & the Wedding March also a Hymn, the contracting parties were, James Alexander Dunning to Jane Clarke, William Clarke to Grace Emily Davey. Jane had her cousin Mabel Wyatt for bridesmaid, Grace had Miss Lily Revell. Jim had my son Jack as best man and Willie had Henry, after the wedding Jack Walden took photographs of the wedding group and also of most of the guests.
