Photograph taken by Arthur’s brother John Samuel Oram c1903
When Daphne, in 1970 wrote her essay about Arthur she did not know that Arthur and Catherine had eight, not six offspring. The extra offspring came to light when researching their 1911 census return. It may have been a closely guarded secret that Arthur and Catherine were married at Hollymount Presbyterian church on 11 October 1881 (witnesses: James Cowan and Isabella Anderson) and their first set of un-identical twins Anderson and Jane were born on 27 May 1882, baptised 28 May 1882 and only lived a short time.
