Explanatory Guide Through the kindness of Mrs lly Benedek, Archivist of Sydney Grammar School, a photostat of the roll of the Sydney College 1835-1850 was supplied to the Archivist of The King's School and has been placed on computer at The King's School Parramatta. The Sydney College Roll sets out bare details of enrolments: viz 1 Allen George 19/1/1835-3/1841 11 George Allen Toxteth Park George Allen 2 Bell Joshua 19/1/1835-8/1836 8 Thomas Bell Carters Bar. Removed to Parramatta Thomas Barker Subsequent research at The King's School involving the use of the New South Wales Births, Deaths and Marriages 1788-1856 has allowed some recording of exact dates of birth, exact dates of parents' marriage and on a few entries the candidate's marriage. The maiden names of many mothers have also been located. If the candidate's parents were unmarried, and the mother is known, 'and' replaces 'm' as an indicator. For some entries, the father's occupation has been located. If identified the religion of the candidate at his baptism is recorded as is the religion of his parents at their marriage. A master list containing individual references is held at The King's School as is the final draft used to create this document A breakdown of the annual enrolment is also included. Other references consulted include a cursory look at Shipping Records for passengers arriving in Sydney 1825-1850, a glance at John Sands Directories, as well as the indexes of Old Chum and the RA.H.S. The relevant volumes of the Australian Dictionary of Biography and H.J. Gibbney and Ann G. Smith A Biographical Register 1788-1939 (two volumes) were extensively examined and, where relevant, such information as was gleaned is noted within the entries. To extend this record of pupils attending the Sydney College, research concerning the candidate's adulthood would be most useful and quite possible within current availability of material. Of particular interest would be the adult careers and marriage details of candidates. Where it was easily accessible the convict status of the parents has also been attached. More work will be done to fill gaps in these areas. Many of the boys entered the Sydney College through sponsorship from a trustee, shareholder or member of the Committee. Further work will be attempted during 1993 concerning the Committee and Shareholders of Sydney College with the intention of indicating their status in similar form to the pupils. Included in this work will be a list of boys they sponsored. Work will continue in an effort to fill the gaps in various entries for such research is a form of continuous adjustment, as minor details are uncovered. A new document will be printed at the start of 1993. It will take into account all research being done dunng the rest of this year. Work will also continue on The King's School Parramatta's pupils 1832-1850 so that a comprehensive comparison may be possible between the two Schools by 1993. Meanwhile, some general trends are already evident. It is clear from the research into the clientele of Sydney College and The King's School Parramatta up to the former's closure in 1850, that historians and researchers into nineteenth century education in New South Wales have confused the stated aims of the two schools with the reality. They have usually stated that the Sydney College catered mostly for the sons of ordinary folk and The King's School mostly for the sons of the Colony'S elite. This research document shows the reverse is probably true. The Sydney College mostly catered for sons of professional people, the sons of army officers and the sons of wealthy businessmen and merchants. The King's School Parramatta's clientele to 1850 had some of the above categories but most of its pupils were sons of tradesmen and small farmers. Both schools predominately drew pupils of Church of England faith. The King's School, though a Church of England foundation, excluded no one on grounds of religion and indeed had a slightly greater percentage of other religions than did the Sydney College probably because it took more sons of tradesmen and small farmers. Pupils stayed at The King's School longer than they did at Sydney College where a wealthier parent population was more likely to venture overseas. Both were savagely affected by the scarlet fever epidemics of the early 1840s and by the economic depression of the mid 1840s. The subsequent careers of pupils of Sydney College outshone those of The King's School Parramatta, this perhaps owing more to the better community standing of the boys' fathers than a better teaching standard, although I suspect the better educated W.T. Cape ran a more liberal curriculum than did Robert Forrest who was constricted by a curriculum drawn from Eton College and by a very ordinary education in his own youth. The convict parentage of The King's School Parramatta and that of Sydney College cannot yet be compared effectively because insufficient work has yet been done on the latter.

They are intended to enhance the project. One of the general observations is ‘A History in Three Rivers’ is largely about wealthier or prominent males their roles and their activities. Professor Glenda Strachan has carried out detailed research on Dungog highlighting the role of women and children in poorer farming families. Because of the nature of the research it also gives insights into life for poorer rural men.

The first is the bicentenary of the publication of the first Australian newspaper, the `Sydney Gazette and NSW Advertiser.' The other major event will be celebrated at the end of 2003, with the centenary of powered, controlled and sustained human flight. Although the Wright Brothers' flight was an American success, their achievement was initially based on the work of other pioneers. The work of those earlier pioneers became available to the Wrights through the medium of print. This paper explores some of the Australian linkages between the written word and those early aerial endeavours.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-64609-4 - A History of Canberra Nicholas Brown Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION On 11 May 1861 James Brown died in a paddock on one of the land grants taken up in the early decades of settlement on and around the Limestone Plains. In 1834, aged 19, he had been convicted of assault and theft in Edinburgh.Sentenced to transportation and seven years’ labour, he arrived in Sydney and was assigned to James Wright at Lanyon, now a heritage listed property from which the spread of Canberra’s newer suburbs is kept only just out of sight. But at the time Brown arrived, Lanyon was at the further edges of pastoral expansion in New South Wales, and was described by an early visi- tor as ‘one of the most picturesque places I have seen in the colony’ even before ‘art’ contributed to its ‘improvement’. That ‘art’ was essentially convict sweat, and Wright was for a time infamous for his fastidious attention to the punishments that kept his workers at their tasks. Enduring this regime, receiving a ticket of leave in 1839, and declared free in 1842, Brown stayed on as an overseer at Lanyon, which was sold amid drought and an economic slump. A Scottish banker, Andrew Cunningham, bought it in 1848, but it was on Cunningham’s other, nearby choice of ‘cold, wet and sour country’ at Congwarra, that Brown was killed by a falling tree. His burial was the first recorded in the district after compulsory regis- tration – but his grave remains unmarked in Lanyon’s small ceme- tery.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

  • Final Interpretive Signage Strategy for Liverpool
    A18 Dr Charles Throsby Surgeon, farmer, magistrate, explorer Title/rank: Doctor (surgeon), then a pre-eminent settler, and explorer. Born – date/year: 1777 Place of origin: Glenfield, near Leicester, England.ArrivedinNSWin 1802. Marital status & children: Married to Jane [who died on 4 November 1838]. He was disappointed that he had no children, so he sent for his nephew Charles Throsby junior to become his heir. The latter arrived from England in 1820, and occupied Throsby Park. He married Betsy, daughter of William Broughton and their children carried on the family line. Place where lived Initially at Castle Hill, then Sydney. After a four year posting in the convict settlement at Newcastle he returned to Sydney in 1808. Lieutenant- Governor Joseph Foveaux had granted Throsby 500 acres (202 ha) at Cabramatta for his services at Newcastle and in 1809 Lieutenant-Governor William Paterson made him grants of 500 and 100 acres at Minto. These he had to surrender when Governor Macquarie arrived in 1810, but the latter then granted him 1500 acres in their place. He built a house on his land grant, which he named Glenfield after his home town in England, and concentrated on pastoral activities there. Role/job: In August 1804, he was sent to the new settlement at Newcastle as assistant surgeon. In March 1805 he was appointed superintendent of labour, then the next month was given command of the settlement which, according to Governor King, he conducted with 'great Activity and Propriety'. In 1808 he was confirmed as magistrate there, returning to Sydney in December that year.
