Page 3 Nine Generations Later Following the articles on Origins in the Daily Telegraph earlier this year, Katrina Warren and Alice Hocking discovered a link between their ancestors. I have a simi­ lar story to tell. I am a seventh generation descendant of Anthony Rope and Elizabeth Pulley who arrived with the First Fleet. One of my great grandfathers was William Greenhalgh, the son of John Greenhalgh, another con11ict who did not arrive in the colony till 1821 . William married Anne Hobby, the granddaughter of Mary Rope and Lieutenant Thomas Hobby, hence my link with the First Fleet. My son and his two young daughters Sophie and Emily recently were admitted as members of the Fellowship of the First Fleet. On receiving her certificate Emily, aged eight, was very excited and took it to show her teacher, which was topical as her class at Forest Lodge Public School was studying the First Settlement. Her teacher had planned an overnight excursion to Hyde Park Barracks where the children would sleep in hammocks as a learn­ ing experience of convict life in the embryonic colony. Emily dis­ covered that her classmate, Sussanna Kable, is descended from Henry Kable (originally Cabell or Keable) and Sussanna (nee Holmes) who were also with the First Fleet. Their marriage took place on 10 February, 1788, the first to be celebrated in the colony. Elizabeth and Anthony were married shortly after, on 19 May, 1788, by the same Chaplain to the Colony Rev. Richard Johnson. Elizabeth Rope and Sussanna Kable were well known to each other, having met when they were incarcerated in the notori­ ous Norwich Castle gaol from which in 1786 they were sent to a hulk on the Thames to await transportation to Botany Bay. Then Henry, Sussanna and Elizabeth were on the same ship, the Friendship, during the passage from England and continued as friends at Port Jackson. What an amazing coincidence it is that in 2007 two little ninth generation Australians, linked by friendship, would discover a common bond with their forebears which began over two centuries ago in the 1780's! Think also of the unlikely tangle of cordage; Rope, Pulley and Kable. Then add a Nott who is tied somewhere in the line. Irma Foster, Nelson Bay REUNION September 9 Peter Hibbs There will be a Reunion for descendants of First Fleet sailor Peter Hibbs of Sirius and Mary Pardoe who arrived on Lady Juliana in 1790. The Venue will be in the Grounds of Holy Trinity Church, Spencer, on September 9 from 9am. Coffee, tea, milk, and boiling water will be provided. PLEASE BRING LUNCH AND A FOLDING CHAIR.

  • Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 Œ 18 October 2012
    Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 { 18 October 2012 Emeritus Professor Garth Gaudry died in Sydney on 18 October 2012 after a long battle with a brain tumour. Those of us in the mathematical community will remember him for different reasons; as research collaborators, as a friend, a teacher, lover of red wine, rugby, music and many other things. Above all he will be remembered for leadership in promoting mathematical sciences in the community and politically. Personal connections Garth was my friend and colleague who came into my life at the end of the 1980s. An early encounter involved a meeting in a Carlton coffee caf´e with Garth, David Widdup and me. David was Executive Director of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies (FASTS) and a wonderful friend of mathematics. Garth was the inaugural President of the Australian Mathematical Sciences Council (AMSC) and I had just become secretary. Garth and David were discussing a press release with what I can only describe as happy enthusiasm. As the language of the press release became more and more colourful, I thought this is going to be an interesting time. So it proved to be. Early history Garth’s family history dates from the First Fleet. It is a fascinating story of which he was rightly proud and so I have reproduced part of a speech his wife Patricia gave at a dinner for his 70th birthday as an appendix. He was the son of a Queensland primary teacher and spent his first nine years in Rockhampton. His father then became head teacher at Tekowai outside of Mackay and Garth completed his secondary education at Mackay High School, riding his Obituary:GarthIanGaudry 43 bike five miles each way.

    Symbols I do: my turn to talk. This is the explanation section of our lesson where you are required to listen. We do: this is where we discuss or work on the concepts together. You do: your turn to be involved. You may be working in a group or on an activity individually. Life in Britain During the 1700s In the 1700s, Britain was the wealthiest country in the world. Rich people could provide their children with food, nice clothes, a warm house and an education. While some people were rich, others were poor. Poor people had no money and no food. They had to work as servants for the rich. Poor children did not attend school. When machines were invented, many people lost their jobs because workers were no longer needed. Health conditions during the 1700s were very poor. There was no clean water due to the pollution from factories. Manure from horses attracted flies, which spread diseases. A lack of medical care meant many people died from these diseases. Life in Britain During the 1700s • The overcrowded city streets were not a nice place to be during the 1700s. High levels of poverty resulted in a lot of crime. • Harsh punishments were put in place to try to stop the crime. People were convicted for crimes as small as stealing bread. Soon, the prisons became overcrowded with convicts. • One of the most common punishments was transportation to another country. Until 1782, Britain sent their convicts to America. After the War of Independence in 1783, America refused to take Britain’s convicts.

To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.

  • Admiral Arthur Phillip.Pdf
    Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N. (1738 – 1814) A brief story by Angus Ross for the Bread Street Ward Club, 2019 One of the famous people born in Bread Street was Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N, the Founder of Australia and first Governor of New South Wales (1788-1792). His is a fascinating story that only recently has become a major subject of research, especially around his naval exploits, but also his impact in the New Forest where he lived mid-career and also around Bath, where he finally settled and died. I have studied records from the time Phillip sailed to Australia, a work published at the end of the 19c and finally from more recent research. Some events are reported differently by different observes or researchers so I have taken the most likely record for this story. Arthur Phillip in later life His Statue in Watling Street, City of London I have tried to balance the amount of detail without ending up with too long a story. It is important to understand the pre-First Fleet Phillip to best understand how he was chosen and was so well qualified and experienced to undertake the journey and to establish the colony. So, from a range of accounts written in various times, this story aims to identify the important elements of Phillip’s development ending in his success in taking out that First Fleet, made up primarily of convicts and marines, to start the first settlement. I have concluded this story with something about the period after he returned from Australia and what recognition of his life and achievements are available to see today.

  • Crime in a Convict Republic John Braithwaite*
    Crime in a Convict Republic John Braithwaite* ‘I t is much easier to extirpate than to amend Mankind.’ Sir William Blackstone Five stages in the history of regulation are derived from the literature as a starting framework for this essay. These stages are outlined in the first section. This five-stage model is then confronted and revised in light of the neglected case of the Australian penal colony. It is juxtaposed throughout the paper with the history of the regulation of crime in the US. Australian convict society is found to be brutal yet forgiving. We conclude that surprisingly high levels of procedural justice and reintegration in Australian convict society drive down crime rates at a remarkable rate in the nineteenth century. In contrast American slave society is characterised by procedural injustice, exclusion and stigmatisation, which delivers high crime rates. Following Heimer and Staffen’s theory, reintegration and procedural fairness are found to arise in conditions where the powerful are dependent on the deviant.1 Acute labour shortage is the basis of a reintegrative assignment system for Australian convicts to work in the free community. While convicts change Australia in very Australian ways, we find that many of these developments are not uniquely Australian and so a revision of the five-phase model is proposed. The revision also implies that Foucault’s distinction between governing the body versus governing the soul (corporal/capital punishment versus the penitentiary) is less central than exclusion versus inclusion (banishment versus restorative justice) to understanding all stages of the history of regulation. A Perspective on the History of Regulation The historical vision of criminologists, sociologists and philosophers of punishment alike is impoverished at this point in history.

  • Admiral Arthur Phillip Rn
    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE TO DEDICATE A MEMORIAL TO ADMIRAL ARTHUR PHILLIP RN Wednesday 9th July 2014 11.00 am ADMIRAL ARTHUR PHILLIP RN Widely admired in Australia as Commander of the First Fleet and first Governor, Admiral Arthur Phillip RN (1738–1814) founded New South Wales in 1788, introduced the rule of law, and established the new colony in the face of horrendous obstacles. Phillip, a Royal Navy Captain in 1788, attained the rank of Admiral for his naval service, but was otherwise unrecognised. Phillip’s leadership of the First Fleet was inspired: all on board were humanely treated and kept healthy, and his navigation was superb. His establishing the colony was an extraordinary achievement. As a farmer himself, he recognised the enormous potential of this new country and encouraged others to believe in it. Phillip was the architect of modern Australia. Arthur Phillip was born in the City of London and is commemorated at an annual service in the church of St Mary-le-Bow, in which there is a small commemorative bust. In Watling Street close by, there is a small, mostly unremarked, memorial to him. In Bath are plaques affixed to his house, and in Bath Abbey and St Nicholas Church, Bathampton, his final resting place, he is commemorated by an Australia chapel, stained glass windows, and a small tablet erected by his widow. His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Patron of the Britain-Australia Society, stated, ‘As the Captain commanding the First Fleet and then as the first Governor of New South Wales at a crucial period in the development of Australia, his selfless service fully deserves the memorial stone which the Britain-Australia Society Education Trust will lay in Westminster Abbey, and the memorial which it is intending to establish in July in his home city of Bath.’ We should properly honour this modest, self-made yet world-class seaman, linguist, patriot, espionage agent against the French, sometime commodore in the Portuguese Navy, and above all humanitarian and effective first Governor of New South Wales.
