Short extract from the Waterville cable station website:

It could be expected that with such a large number of single men coming into the area, there would be a high rate of marriage to local girls. This does not seem to have been the case. It would seem that there were about 20 marriages to local girls.

The following names were in this category; Hogbin, Cubitt, Wright, Noxon, Howatson, Graham, McKimmie, Mason, Tomge, Domoney, Begg, Patterson, Hewison, Boag, Chantler, Dunn, Duff, Tranfield.

My grandmother's sisters married three:

Ellie Keating married Willie McKimmie
Kathleen (Kit) married Jack Mason
Minnie married Jack Hewison
