THE HERALDRY OF THE MACLEAYS AND THEIR KIN: THE ARMS OF WILLIAM MACLEAY, HIS SONS, AND THEIR MALE DESCENDANTS Stephen Michael Szabo Heraldic Consultant, Sydney INTRODUCTION In an earlier article1 I gave a brief account of the life of Alexander Macleay following his arrival in Sydney in 1826 and up to his death twenty-two years later. I noted that there had been little or no scholarly examination of the use of coats of arms and similar heraldic identifiers by Alexander Macleay and his kin by either blood or marriage, and ventured that such an examination, which I hoped to carry out, might reveal something about identity, aspiration and kinship in the Scottish diaspora in colonial New South Wales. The present article narrows its focus to look at the ancestry of Alexander Macleay, how his father acquired legitimately granted arms, and what use of these arms was made by various male family members to declare their social status. ANCESTRY The Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) tells us that Alexander Macleay was: the son of William Macleay, provost of Wick and deputy-lieutenant of Caithness. He was descended from an ancient family which came from Ulster; at the Reformation the family had substantial landholdings in Scotland, but by loyalty to the Stuarts suffered severe losses after the battle of Culloden.2 The ADB entry for Alexander’s son George claims that “the McLeays [were] an old Caithness landed family.”3 The latter is not entirely true, for it seems that the Macleays were newly settled in the late eighteenth century in Caithness, but they had indeed 1 Stephen Michael Szabo, ‘The Heraldry of The Macleays and Their Kin: Scottish Heraldry and Its Australian Context’, Journal of the Sydney Society for Scottish History, Vol. -
The Scottish Background of the Sydney Publishing and Bookselling
NOT MUCH ORIGINALITY ABOUT US: SCOTTISH INFLUENCES ON THE ANGUS & ROBERTSON BACKLIST Caroline Viera Jones he Scottish background of the Sydney publishing and bookselling firm of TAngus & Robertson influenced the choice of books sold in their bookshops, the kind of manuscripts commissioned and the way in which these texts were edited. David Angus and George Robertson brought fi'om Scotland an emphasis on recognising and fostering a quality homegrown product whilst keeping abreast of the London tradition. This prompted them to publish Australian authors as well as to appreciate a British literary canon and to supply titles from it. Indeed, whilst embracing his new homeland, George Robertson's backlist of sentimental nationalistic texts was partly grounded in the novels and verse written and compiled by Sir Walter Scott, Robert Bums and the border balladists. Although their backlist was eclectic, the strong Scottish tradition of publishing literary journals, encyclopaedias and religious titles led Angus & Robertson, 'as a Scotch firm' to produce numerous titles for the Presbyterian Church, two volumes of the Australian Encyclopaedia and to commission writers from journals such as the Bulletin. 1 As agent to the public and university libraries, bookseller, publisher and Book Club owner, the firm was influential in selecting primary sources for the colony of New South Wales, supplying reading material for its Public Library and fulfilling the public's educational and literary needs. 2 The books which the firm published for the See Rebecca Wiley, 'Reminiscences of George Robertson and Angus & Robertson Ltd., 1894-1938' ( 1945), unpublished manuscript, Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, ML MSS 5238. -

Abstract It is generally assumed that the Robertson Land Acts failed because they did not produce a closely settled rural population cf small farming freeholders. In this sense it is undoubtedly true that land reform in New South Wales "failed’', but this assumption presupposes that Robertson's Land Acts were formulated and passed primarily and fundamentally for the specific purpose which they failed to meet. It is suggest in this essay that behind the purported objective of 'unlocking the lands' for the benefit of the small farmer might be found aspects which alter the significance of the Land Acts, and give emphasis to the political, rather than social motivations of Sir John Robertson and his followers.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum – Culture 5(1): 31-52. Brisbane. ISSN 1440-4788 The decision to build the first railway in Queensland from Ipswich to the Darling Downs meant that railway workshops were required at Ipswich. The development of the Ipswich Railway Workshops site began with the original Ipwich Workshops site of 1864 which was adjacent to the Bremer River at North Ipswich. The first two major workshop buildings were iron and zinc structures imported from England in pre-fabricated form. Over the next few years, additional buildings including a brick store were constructed by local contractors. -

The New South Wales Parliament Under Siege
‘Build your House of Parliament upon the River’: The New South Wales Parliament under siege Gareth Griffith and Mark Swinson * You must build your House of Parliament upon the river . the populace cannot exact their demands by sitting down round you. — The Duke of Wellington This piece of advice is attributed to the Duke of Wellington, a man who knew about such things as pickets and blockades, but also about Parliament and its ways. On Tuesday 19 June 2001, a part of the populace associated with the trade union movement, determined to have its demands satisfied, massed round the New South Wales Parliament House. For those who do not know it, the New South Wales Parliament is not built on a river, or a harbour for that matter, but on the crest of a modest rise, fronted by Macquarie Street to the west and, at the rear, by Hospital Road and beyond that by a spacious open area called the Domain. To the north side is the State Library building; to the other, Sydney Hospital. At its height, in the early afternoon of 19 June, the Parliament was surrounded by a demonstration estimated to be 1,000 strong. The Premier called it a ‘blockade’. 1 Unionists called it a ‘picket’. 2 Some press reports referred to it as a ‘riot’. 3 * Gareth Griffith is a Senior Research Officer with the New South Wales Parliamentary Library; Mark Swinson is Deputy Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, Parliament of New South Wales. 1 L.

Rare and Curious Specimens, an Illustrated
The attempt of the Philosophical Society of Australasia to create a colonial museum was as premature as its effort to provide a scientific forum. After the demise of the society in 1822, no public interest seems to have been evinced until June 1827 * when a Sydney newspaper offered A HINT- We should be glad to perceive amongst some of our intelligent and public spirited Colonists, more of a drive to prosecute the public weal than at present exists. Amongst other improvements, in these times, would there be any harm in suggesting the idea offounding an AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM? The earlier that such an institution is formed, the better it will be for posterity. 1 What stimulated the hint is unrecorded but it is not unreasonable to suppose that the arrival in Sydney in January 1826 of a new Colonial Secretary may have had something to do with it. Alexander Macleay, FRS, Fellow of the Linnean Society of London and honorary secretary of that prestigious institution from 1798 until1825, had resigned this position at the express request of Earl Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to become head of the public service of New South Wales. He was fifty-nine years old when he came to Sydney, having retired from the British civil service on a substantial pension in 1818, but age was no impediment to his activity. He worked in close harmony with Governor Darling and his abrupt dismissal by Governor Bourke in 1837 aroused considerable dissent from the general public of New South Wales, who held him in high esteem as an honest and hard-working administrator. -

Camden Municipal Council Area Street Names
CAMDEN MUNICIPAL COUNCIL AREA STREET NAME SOUTH CAMDEN Adelong Place The name Adelong appears to be derived from the Aboriginal language meaning "along the way" or "plain with a river".

Henry migrated to Sydney on 1/1/1810. Married Eliza Wills in 1818 and in 1825 settled on his estate near Picton, named Jarvisfield; and, in 1844 he subdivided part of his estate on the north of Stonequarry Creek, as the result he made possible the founding of the town of Picton (originally known as Stonequarry). He died and was buried in the family vault at Jarvisfield, in August 1852, survived by six sons and two daughters. Picture of Henry Colden Antill Araluen Place The name 'Araluen' meant 'water lily' or 'place of the water lilies' in the Aboriginal dialect of the Araluen area of NSW Armour Avenue Named after Robert William Armour born 1848 worked at the”Hermitage” The oaks in 1845.
