On March 3, 1934 Thelma married Keith Oswald Morris at the Congregational Church at West Epping, it was the first wedding to be held in that church. In 1947 and knowing that Keith's health was worsening and his death imminent they relocated to the Bellamy family home at 5 Ryde Street, West Epping and Keith died shortly after. On 16^th June,1956 Thelma married George Alexander Park at the Registry Office in Sydney. They lived for a couple of years at 386 Liverpool Road, Enfield before moving to a fibro cottage on a large block of land at the corner of The Promenade & Morvan Street at Old Guildford. In 1969 they moved to 4 Oaklands Road, Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains. A chronic asthma sufferer for many years Thelma died in Katoomba Hospital in July 1972 and was cremated at Northern Suburbs Crematorium. The only issue of Thelma and Keith Morris was Peter Keith.
