		Issue of William Henry Grocock and Emily Watson
1.		Kate GROCOCK Born 10 Mar 1852 at 7 Westbourne Park Road, Paddington, London (ref her birth certificate). Birth of Kate Grocock 10 Mar 1852, bap 28 Apr 1852 at Paddington Green St Mary, Westminster, dau of William Henry & Emily Grocock; residence Westnbourne Park Road, Auctioneer (ref Ancestry London Baptisms). She arrived in Victoria by unassisted passage on the vessel "Sussex" in Nov 1855 with her parents. Marr 11 Mar 1868, at 48 Napier St, Fitzroy, Vic Aus (Vic reg 952) to Walter Henry SERLE (ref her marriage certificate). The following is an extract from the autobiography of their son Percival. "My mother thus motherless (due to a accident) at six years of age, was sent to a boarding school in Melbourne and seems to have been kindly treated. Her formal education was probably sketchy, but she read voraciously and acquired much miscellaneous knowledge. She became a good pianist and singer, her voice being quite naturally produced. My father who was thirteen years older would take her out sometimes to entertainments and was very fond of the clever little girl. She remained at school until she was approaching sixteen, and it would have been a problem to her father what was to become of her. There were few occupations open to girls in those days and all were poorly paid. Marriage was practically the only career really considered desirable, and I have no doubt that marriage to my father was felt to be a very happy solution. There was probably no thought of her attempting to carry her musical education further, and during her twenties and thirties she was bearing and bringing up children, making most of the children's clothes herself, and doing part of the cooking (we always had a general servant). She was an attractive woman. Her features were all possibly a little too large for absolute beauty, but with her bright golden hair and good complexion she was very good-looking. She had a vivid personality, was much interested in people, and fond of music, the theatre, and dancing. She lost a large amount of her sight when she was about fifty, thirty years later she fainted, broke her hip and never walked again, and for about three years before her death at the age of 86 was nearly blind. Yet she was always courageous. One grievance she at times nursed a little. Having married a day after she became sixteen she felt she had never had a girlhood. But the circumstances were exceptional. Her mother was dead, her father often away, and she had no other relations in Australia. After all, she was fortunate in marrying a good man who never lost his affection for her."
