"Lydia and William were married in Wellington on 1 August 1887. They settled in Napier where William worked for the Railways. Theirs is a typical weatherboard cottage with a shingle roof. In the following year the house was re-roofed with corrugated iron. The garden was clearly an enthusiasm and plantings of peas, gooseberries, liles and sunflowers can be seen in later photographs.
