Peter and Cate Whitehead renew their Marriage Vows.


Peter and Cate Whitehead renewed their Marriage Vows in St. Anthony's on New Year's Day 2009 after 20 years of marriage. Peter and Cate live in Australia but they had recently discovered that Peter's great, great grandparents,Thomas and Frances Williamson, were married in St. Anthony's in 1851. Three months later they emigrated to Australia and were lucky to arrive as they travelled on a fast clipper that was more interested in speed than passenger care - over 100 people died on the trip. Peter and Cate were thrilled to have discovered St. Anthony's and to renew their own Vows in the same place as Thomas and Frances had made theirs over 150 years ago.
