  • Sidney Charles Werner was born on 27 January 1885 in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. Mrs Hoskins (most likely his grandmother Elizabeth Hoskins, formerly French, nee Baker) was witness to his birth.
  • He was the son of Louis Francis Albig Werner and Elizabeth French.
  • In 1906 Sidney Charles Werner lived in Thallon Street, Crow's Nest.
  • He was Policeman, NSW Police Force.
  • At the age of 28 years, 7 months and 5 days, Sidney Charles Werner married Sarah Catherine Delaney, daughter of Richard Delaney and Elizabeth Mary Baker, on 1 September 1913 in Tempe, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
  • Between 1913 and 1925 Sidney worked as a policeman on Norfolk Island. Sidney Werner was appointed as an officer in the Norfolk Police on 10 September 1913 - 9 days after his marriage to Sarah.
    The following are extracts from the Reports of the Administrator for Norfolk Island for the years 1915/1918
    1915 - Page 6 Constabulary
    There are three constables employed. Constable Werner of the NSW Police Force is temporarily in charge, and under him are two constables who are natives of the island and of Pitcairn descent. The acting chief police officer (Werner) reports that the principal of employing members of the community as constables is not satisfactory, as the close relationship existing is incompatible with constabulary duty, and in practice it is found that they bring no cases before the court, and that they do not sufficiently interest themselves in cases brought under their notice. One of the local constables has recently tended his resignation. It is not desirable to appoint another Norfolk Islander in his place.
    1916- Page 8 Constabulary
    During the year two constables were employed. Corporal Buffet (Pitcairn descendant) recently tended his resignation in order to avail himself of more remunerative employment and Super Intendant Quintall (Pitcairn Descendant) who was on active service with the Australian Imperial Forces in Galloipe, returned incapacitated. On his return, he was welcomed home by the Administrator and members of the Executive Council. He was informed that his position in the constabulary was open to him, but he stated that he was unable to satisfactorily perform the duties and tended his resignation. He informed me that he was being well cared for by the Commonwealth Defence Force.
    Constable Werner is in charge and reports that there has been less cause for complaint this year than in the proceeding two years. As a rule the residents are peaceful and law abiding and the serious cases are few and far between. This is attributed to a large extent to the existence of the Liquor Prohibition Law. The Leading Lights and Signals are in charge of the constable, who also acts as forest ranger. It is proposed that when available as assistant will be temporarily employed in connection with the Leading Lights and Signals at Kingston.
    1917 - Page 6 Constabulary
    Constable Werner is at present in sole charge and he performs all the constabulary duties. He reports as satisfactory condition of affairs in regard to the residents generally, who are as a rule peaceful and law abiding. He also acts as forest ranger. The slaughter yards are subject to periodical inspection, and these are being gradually improved, so as to satisfactorily provide for proper sanitary conditions. The number of cattle slaughtered was 329, including 75 heifers. All the cattle slaughtered are reported to have been in a healthy condition. From periodic inspections made of the lemon and fish factories they are reported to be in a good sanitary condition. The constable is assisted by a youth in connection with the Leading Lights and Signal Station.
    1918 - Page 7 Constabulary
    Constable Werner is still in charge. He performs all the constabulary duties; he also acts as forest ranger and assists at the signal station when necessary. He reports that the slaughter yards have been improved during the year, and that the Lemon Factory and fish works are kept in a sanitary condition. The community generally is well behaved and law abiding.

The petitioner in her evidence stilted that she had been married to the respondent at Feilding on August 22, 1899, and there had been eight children born of the union. Everything went well until about eight years ago, when the parties were living at Mangaweka. She had then reason to suspect undue intimacy between the respondent and a woman who was living in the house, but he denied the accusation. She (petitioner) had left the house to earn her own living as a waitress, and after that her husband had taken to drinking heavily. She bad reason to believe that he was living with another woman while she was earning her own living, and she put in a letter from him making certain admissions. Corroborative evidence having been given by two witnesses, his Honour granted a decree nisi, to be made absolutely in three months, with costs on the lowest scale against the respondent."
