Admiralty & Marriage
I had then been much attracted by Gwendoline the second daughter who was just out. During my visits to Glasgow in 1901 and 1902 to supervise the ships building by contract I stayed frequently at Rolston and became more in touch with the family. In the early part of the year 1902, I accompanied them on board a new ship of the Clan Line, the Clan [name not given] for her steam trials, and when skylarking with the boys, sprained my knee rather badly, with the result that I had to stay for a week at Rolston before I could travel. During this week I came to the conclusion that my future happiness depended on my persuading Gwendoline to marry me. I proposed on February 9th and to my joy was accepted.[3]
On 8 March he received his China War Medal from King Edward VII at Plymouth.[4][5]
Jellicoe and Gwendoline Cayzer were married at Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Street, London, in the afternoon of 1 July. The Reverend F. G. G. Jellicoe, of Alverstoke, Hants., his brother, officiated.
